I recently picked up this ticket stub on ebay. It is a stub from Wayne Gretzky's first
NHL game. He also recorded his first NHL point in the game. I was wondering what
you guys think it might be worth. Is it comparable to a Michael Jordan first game
stub? There is also a ticket-tron ticket on ebay now. The seller is asking for $1800.
But this ticket is the actual stub and not a ticketmaster or ticket-tron type. Thanks.

After the Dome collapsed, I contacted the front office and they were kind enough to send me several swatches of the Dome fabric. Anyway, another collector was kind enough to take a piece of the fabric to a free signing and Frank thought it was so cool that he obliged me by inscribing the signature with the 1st and 500th HR tag.
Anyway, I have a slabbed 500th ticket, but I really wanted a 1st HR ticket to frame with the other items. Should look great.
Any more info .....LMK

I was planning on having the ticket authenticated by PSA, but I don't think there
is enough space on the slab to indicate both Gretzky and Messier's first NHL games
and Gretzky's first NHL point. I will have to check to see what Messier did in his
first game.
Anyone have a Gretzky debut ticket available for sale? thanks!

That's pretty cool.
I was able to get Wayne's signature on two 1851 point tickets (Oct 15, 1989) when he did his book signing this past October. I forgot to bring my 802 goal ticket with me.
Cool to see this thread surface again. Awesome score on that World Juniors stub KnightRider... Last year I picked up this full ticket for Gretzky's first professional game with the WHA Indianapolis Racers, October 14, 1978...
hi I see you have a 1941 American league baseball ticket do you own this this ticket and is for sale
nice ticket!
I started to get into debut ticket, this is my latest one. NBA Debut for James Worthy, full unused ticket
... that was game #27 of Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hit streak. Thanks for the offer, but it's a cornerstone in my stub collection
Another Gretzky stub, this from February 24, 1982 vs the Buffalo Sabres when he scored goals 75, 76 and 77 to break Phil Esposito's single season record...with 16 games still remaining. Gretzky would score 15 additional goals to finish the season with 92...
My dad had that stub for years. I remember seeing it as a kid. He's not a collector but held into it. Not sure if he still has it. I'm going to have to ask. Thanks for the reminder!

We'll that was fast. Apparently he tossed it when they sold our childhood home about 5 years ago. Oh well. Cool stub. Congrats!

It appears that the vintage Gretzky ticket market remains quite warm. This ticket stub, from Gretzky's 3rd professional game with the Indianapolis Racers just sold for $904 on eBay. That must make the debut ticket ICE9 posted above quite valuable these days.
The Oct 18 1978 stub was VERY significant...WG's first professional point...an assist. He was held scoreless in his first two games on Oct 14 and 15. I was the underbidder...
