The 83-year-old tradition of staging an "All-Star Game" in the middle of the regular season began at Comisky Park in Chicago in 1933. The first Major League All-Star Game was engineered as a delightful adjunct to the central extravaganza of the Chicago World's Fair of 1933-34 – labeled the "Century of Progress." Many of the most beloved historical stars of the game participated, including a number of eventual Hall of Famers like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Fittingly, Babe Ruth homered in that game in 1933. Still, many did not foresee at the time that this event would, in fact, become an annual tradition of epic proportions, a showcasing of baseball's finest athletes.

    

Offered are full tickets and stubs from every single Major League All-Star game from that first game in 1933 to the most recent in 2016. The thought of how many great players and great moments are represented in this lot is awe-inspiring. Notably, the PSA slabs for these tickets denote many historic events including memorable home runs.

    

The rarity of this collection of tickets is hard to overstate as we think this particular run of tickets may be the first of its type to be offered publicly.
