ONLY KNOWN ROLL OF TICKETS FROM WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION

PLEASE NOTE: This roll is being listed simultaneously for sale on Ebay for $2500. And transactions there cost me a rather hard-to-swallow cost of business—about 15% in total fees! Therefore you have an excellent opportunity here to purchase the roll for $2125, 15% less than on Ebay.

TEXT IDENTICAL TO THAT POSTED ON EBAY
After about 10-15 years of selling these return pass tickets one at a time, in pairs and in strips of several tickets, I have decided to offer this unique one-of-a-kind roll of tickets for sale.

I purchased the roll estimated at anywhere from 3,500 to 5,000 tickets for $5,500.

My best guess is that TODAY there around 1,500 or more tickets remaining.

As most of you on Ebay know, I have collected—and sold—Columbiana for more than 40 years. I have always been particularly enamored of MOST ANY TICKETS and when I purchased this roll it was the center of my own personal Columbian ticket collection. In 2008 I sold my ticket collection (not including the roll) via Heritage Auctions; the collection of about 300 tickets brought $40,000 at that auction, including the most expensive single Columbian ticket ever sold until that time—the only known Camera Obscura ticket, for the Midway concession that while listed in many expo guides, never actually opened for business. That ticket sold for $3,000. Another has never been discovered. In 2023 I sold a pass to the Kilaeua Volcano on The Midway for $3,600, currently the most expensive ticket or pass from the WCE.

I am hopeful that my catalog of Columbian Tickets and Passes will be available in 2025. It will include color images FOR ALL tickets shown. We are currently expoloring printing a limited edition hardcover as well. Please follow here and at www.worldscolumbianjournal.com for updates on the book and our upcoming sales.
