Ticket Collectors - Which is more collectible: Proofs, Full Tickets or Stubs

llafoe

Which is more collectible: Proofs are generally nice and clean but obviously never went to the game... Full Tickets also never went to the game but have seat location printed on the ticket... Stubs probably went to the game (of course someone could have simply removed the lower portion of a Full Ticket). Do ticket collectors prefer one type of ticket or are all types collected equally?

I personally go after full tickets from the 60-70's. Partials from the 50's and earlier work for me as well. As a third choice, I do collect those commerative tickets you see from time to time.

Personally I've always preferred ticket stubs but that's probably because I collected them back in the 1970s and 1980s when they were virtually worthless and we ticket collectors would just trade with each other mostly in bulk. Most stubs are still pretty cheap, but seems there are fewer collectors, definitely fewer traders.

From a value standpoint, the "full ticket" has always been like the "mint" baseball card and would be the way to go if you're looking for that aspect.

I never collected proofs or phantom tickets unless they related to the A's.
