I've tried to hold onto the ticket stub for everything I've been to in the last 15 years and have a really ecclectic mix - sports events, movies, plays, etc - and have a few photo albums full of them. Didn't know that may people collected them until a recent google search and even found out that PSA is grading them I think the prize of my collection so far is from sept 19, 1998 Yankees vs. Orioles. My dad and I drove down to Baltimore from New Jersey to see the game .. which was fun .. but then while driving back the next day learned that Cal Ripken jr. sat out .. making the game we saw on the Saturday #2,632 and the last of the streak. any value on this ? and does anyone else collect ticket stubs ?

I collect my receipts of my vacations. It reminds me of what I did when and where.
I have a few random ticket stubs, but nothing of historical significance - except maybe Reggie Miller's last game at MSG.
I have one full ticket of note: 1977 World Series Game 6. My dad gave it to me when I first started collecting back in 1992. The importance of this ticket is that this was the game where Reggie Jackson hit 3 homers. I saw that on TV. In 1993 I got it signed by Reggie Jackson and was authenticated by the representing sportscard company. They no longer exist. In March 2005, PSA/DNA was in town, so I had the ticket re-authenticated. I've seen full tickets (unsigned) on eBay go for about $76 a piece. But my ticket is the only item in my collection that I got for free, sans the autograph. But, that's okay. Hunting for that one autograph was fun.
While I reload my firepower to go against the big boys who bid on 19th century items, I will start building another collection around this ticket, with the theme being Reggie Jackson in The 1977 World Series. This will be a little easier to compile. One collection for the passion and art, the other for childhood nostalgia.
Pre-war cards(baseball, horse racing)
Collect for pleasure and you will always find happiness.

wow .. great ticket .. watching Reggie hit the three homers in the 77 world series was one of my first baseball-related memories. I was 5 and he was my first favorite player. At one time I had a scrapbook with some headlines & some yankee programs from around the time. I also had a book on Reggie that came out a few years later when you flipped the pages real fast there you saw a little animation of one of those home runs in the corner. I also tried saving a "reggie bar" .. but it melted in the pack in my sock drawer and my mom threw it away. ... yep .. lots of memories based on that event .. and I guess that's why people are saving the ticket stubs or seeking them from the event.

I collect stubs but I have no idea how you find out a value. I mainly have hockey stubs. I have seen people buying and selling baseball ticket stubs. I think it is like old toys, you remember playing with them (ticket stubs - going to the game), and seeing it in your collection reminds you of the fun you had (or the event you witnessed like a shutout, 1 hit game, etc.). I think they are more collectable because of what Bob said below, everyone sticks them in there wallet and by the end of the week, they throw them out, which makes them more collectible to own.

QUOTE(Bondsaway @ Oct 29 2005, 07:42 PM) Bob should know this one, The Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles. I saw game 3. Bad thing it was in baltimore and I was wearing my pirates jersey and hat! Unfortunately hurricane Ivan flooded my mothers basement so it was lost! Sorry to hear that, I know a few guys here who lost their collections in their basements due to Ivan. I am sure there are plenty of others from the last two down south as that got to the roofs. That is the one thing that scares me the most is loss by fire, or natural disaster. Does anyone have insurance on their cards/collection? And if so how did you go about getting it appraised? Just curious.
