CHICAGO, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- The newest status symbol in the Windy City is a ticket stub from the first two games of the 2005 World Series, with prices ranging from $68 to $150.

The Chicago Sun-Times says fans leaving Saturday's Game 1 victory by the Chicago White Sox over the Houston Astros were offered as much as $50 for a ticket stub by people who couldn't get into the game at U.S. Cellular Field.

World Series tickets are such a hot commodity in Chicago that the stubs are being sold at online auction sites like eBay.

Tim Herron, owner of Tim's Card Shop, said a stub from Game 2 -- in which Paul Konerko hit the only grand slam home run in series history -- could be worth real money.

Ticket stubs from the 1959 World Series, the last time the Sox appeared in the Fall Classic, were selling for $100 on eBay.
