Jerry Rice debut ticket stub sold for almost $1500

    I've been saying this for years that ticket stubs such as this are terrific investments, especially like cards when in high grade.

    That ticket isn't bad, probably around a 3 or 4. I think there's a crease on it, plus corner wear. But If you see one like this at the right price in high grade, i say buy it.

    From the bidding it looks as if 2 bidders really wanted the item. All it takes is 2 interested parties to run the price up sometimes.

    I've picked up a couple of tickets recently but I didn't want to spend much at all. I'm looking for a few things when I buy a ticket....the ticket is attractive and cheap, my team won, and something significant happened in the game.

    for this Cubs ticket, Sandberg hit home run #100 and Dawson also homered and the Cubs won.
    for this White Sox ticket, Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr each had home runs and the Sox won.

    I know next to nothing about tickets but have always had a question ... assume two tickets to same event, both PSA slabbed, same grade, would there be a premium price for more desirable seat location, say field box over bleacher? Or once the vent is over, is condition the only thing that matters?

    I wouldn't think that would be a factor, but that's just my opinion.

    I don't collect ticket stubs, but this thread is intriguing. I've been throwing away my tickets for the warriors playoff run this year...and last....and the year before, but went to e-bay after reading this thread. Final's stubs are going for $50-$80. I was floored. I have two pairs of tickets left for game 5 and 7. I have a feeling they will not be needed. Should I put these on the BST?
