Baseball memorabilia or antiques experts, is this worth something?

This was handed down to me some time ago. It came from a distant relative that lived in NYC back then. Take note of the company that held the event. Am I gonna be rich and famous?

Doing a solid 2.5 minutes of research reveals that a "war tax" was imposed on baseball tickets to help pay for WWI but this is separate from the "federal tax".

There was a solar eclipse that day. Also the dodgers won.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, just a guy with more interest in 'stuff' than most.

That said, I think it's an interesting curiosity but probably not worth much.

I think it's worth about $3.65. Maybe less

wait, let me update that.....$44.92. It's worth $44.92 at most.

What you really want are full or even partial sets from the late 80s and early 90s: upper deck, score, donruss, etc. Very rare and extremely valuable.
