Kansas City Royals’ Baseball Programs - A Quick Rundown 

Kansas City Royals’ programs - you probably remember getting one of these as a kid when visiting Kauffman Stadium during the dog days of summer. While most Kansas City Royals programs do not fetch high prices, a few specific ones do stand out in terms of historical interest, but do they have any financial value?

1969 Kansas City Royals Inaugural Season Programs

Programs from the Kansas City Royals' first season in 1969 are among the most desirable. As Kansas City ushered in a new era of Major League Baseball after the Kansas City A’s, these vintage baseball programs hold a special place for local fans and collectors alike. An original, well-preserved vintage baseball program from this inaugural season can attract interest from collectors, but not at a high price as they sell in the $10-$20 range.

These games brought the top MLB players to Kansas City, and programs from this event remain of interest to collectors looking for unique pieces tied to major league milestones in Kansas City. Both mid-summer classics took place at Kauffman Stadium. The 1973 program regularly sells in the $35-$50 depending on condition, with the 2012 program for $5-$10 (sorry if you paid the $15 at the Stadium!).

Although these don’t usually bring high returns, programs from the Royals’ World Series are still popular among fans. They’re widely available as they were sold at the stadium, as well as stores around the city, but they are sought after as mementos of the team’s fall classics making them a good option for collectors who value nostalgia over potential resale value. They also make a great item to get signed by players from those years. The World Series programs all hover in the $10-$20 range per program.
