Hi, I'm new to ticket collecting and had a question. Apparently if you were at the Giants game when Bonds hit his 756th homerun, they gave out pins and stamped the words, "BONDS HR" on your ticket if you picked a pin up. Now if I were to obtain a graded ticket (full season ticket), which ticket would be better to get? The one with "BONDS HR" stamped on it? Or a totally unused ticket with no markings? Thanks!

    I think either ticket of the a-hole is fine. Welcome to the boards.

    I would prefer an unused one with no markings, and a used one with the marking.

    Having NO ticket is more valuable, at least to me. image

    In ticket collecting, generally the more "unused" the better when it comes to value. So in that respect, having the unstamped, full season ticket style ticket with no creases or marks would be more valuable.

    If this is for your own collection, and you want to be able to tell the story of how you were there when Bonds hit the record breaking homer, how you "just missed" catching the ball (stories always get better with age...) then I would get a stamped ticket...even if you weren't at the game.

    Added: if you are buying a ticket definitely buy the season ticket holder ticket, not the generic one.
