Title: chicago worlds fair
Post by: blacksox09 on May 22, 2010, 03:16:14 AM

i have all 10 admission tickets to the 1893 chicago world fair, and the two tickets that should have a stub still have them attached. they are all in very good condition with sharp corners except a little glue mark from how they were stored. i was wondering if they are worth anything? thanks for the help

The completed listings on eBay show there are quite a few different versions going from about 5-72 dollars.Maybe check it out for comparisons to see if any of these are what you have.
