PSA recently began grading full size tickets. I'm unsure about stubs but it's still a nice collectable to add to ones sports collection. As far as future value, I see price increases limited to significant events with Super Bowl tickets having the gretest value.

I have some. I think it's an in expensive hobby with a limited number.

Tickets can be expensive, depending on what you collect.

If you stick to modern ones it's not bad. 1950-1960's a little costly. 1870's-1940's good luck.

The only advice I can give is only buy the ones you personally like. 8-10-56 is a good one (Larsen's Perfect Game).

Good Luck,

Dave

I always collected unused tickets with players pics.

I have a ticket from just about every pro and college game I have ever been to. Hundreds and hundreds. A few world series, all-star, Rose bowls, playoffs, no-hitters, etc....

Bill ... if you think it would be fun ... GO FOR IT. I am sure there are a lot of kewl items that you can collect that will not cost you a lot.

I don't collect them, but I do have this from when I went to the game. It's in nice shape and I need to either get it slabbed (if a good special comes around) or just frame it to protect it.

One thing I've never been able to find on the internet is a place to trade ticket stubs. Back in my teens (the 1970s) I like to collect stubs. Like autographs, there were a few other collectors around the country and we basically sent 20-30 to each other at a time. What I tried to collect was one from each AL and NL park for each year. There are some more expensive ways to collect too

There are a few guys working on Ripken streak games, Ryan's no-hitters/wins, Aaron and Bonds HR games, etc. I half-heartedly started a Rickey Henderson 1982 Stolen base game run since I have most of the 1982 home games. Another is doing a Koufax win run...you get the picture.

Basically collect what you like...

I wouldn't say I collect them but I have kept every single one Ive been too.

But its ticket stubs for concerts. Ive been to almost 300 shows and I have all the ticket stubs since the first concert I went to which was back in 1995. It was Korn opening up for Marilyn Manson and Danzig was the headliner. Funny how that line up would be in reverse today.

I have more than half my ticket stubs signed too which is why Ive kept them im sure. Ive gotten into probably over 70 shows for free so I don't have a ticket stub for all the shows Ive been too - only the ones Ive actually bought (which have been a ton still)

That would be kinda cool to trade ticket stubs but above all else, I think people would be more interested in selling than trading and I guess you can go on eBay and purchase ticket stubs. Your probably not gonna find the show you went to but you can get a Nirvana Ticket Stub from an old show for about $20 which is kinda neat to have if you never got to see that band.

I have "traded" a lot of ticket stubs over the years for FREE Taco Bell crunchy tacos!

I have saved a few of the big game tickets of games that I have attended such as the Longhorn Rose Bowl & this years Texas A&M game. I am actually planning on sending them to Mack Brown this offseason for autographs. Then I will get them slabbed by PSA/DNA for my collection.

I collect ticket/ticket stubs to games Steve Young played in and Heisman year ticket stubs. Sometimes I will also pick up random lots of NFL tickets.

I just picked this one up for my Heisman collection, although i got a fair enough price I might try flipping it.

Sanders rushed for 5 touchdowns in the game and was named the game's MVP.

Sadly, very true. I've kept virtually all of my 350-ish Springsteen stub over the past 36 years and am finding it more difficult to purchase hard tickets.

Similarly, I've collected NJ Devils Media Guides every year since their inception and the last two seasons (2009-10 and 2010-11) they were very scarce as they've gone green. This year, the guide is only available as an on-line .pdf file. Another collectible gone by the wayside...

Love collecting tickets, especially ones form the 50s 60s baseball. They are a good chase and still a reasonable price to go after. Spahn, Koufax, Drysdale, Snider, Mays, Aaron, Mantle all tickets that are still findable and affordable. Every once in a while you might find one in the 40s a Dimaggio or a Gehrig HR ticket at a price that might surprise you. As Yankees001 said collect what you like it is the most satisfying

Love old vintage ticket stubs. I also try for the companion piece program.
