Anyone know what 3000th hit tickets are worth? I've got three:
Rod Carew PSA 8 (8/4/85)
Tony Gwynn PSA 9 (8/6/99)
Cal Ripken PSA 10 (4/15/00)
Anyone interested in these?

Since the Twins sold unused tickets after the fact, I would actually imagine the population of un-used tickets to that game surpasses the population of tickets actually torn at the turnstile that night.

A ticket graded 10 in a Beckett holder recently went UNSOLD on eBay for only $16.99

A perfect game, 4 HR game, etc. is a different story.

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. Although 3000 hits, etc are somewhat predictable, they are still collectible. Anyone want Mark Cameron's 4 HR ticket? Not me.

I agree. Stadiums have been selling unsold tickets to many recent milestone and unforeseen record games, like perfect games and no hitters. It's really a shame. Tickets to sold out games (like Cal's 2131 game) are more rare in PSA 10 condition than tickets like the ones from perfect games.
I'm not an authority on it, but based on my watching auction prices and buying a few tickets here's my guesses:
Cal Ripken PSA 10 (4/15/00) - For whatever reason there are fistfuls of 3000th cal ripken tickets available. If it's a box seat or something it might be worth a bit more. For a regular ticket, they seem to be selling in the $10 range if they are not signed and for about $50 signed. That's about what I paid personally for my tickets. With psa 10 maybe slightly more, but probably not more than $15.
Tony Gwynn PSA 9 (8/6/99) - These are common enough, not as common as the Ripken ones but can be had easily. I believe I played about $10 for a regular ticket and $30 for a fancier box seat type ticket.
Rod Carew PSA 8 (8/4/85) - I think this might be worth a bit more, and if you're interested in selling it you could PM me I may be willing to buy it from you. I haven't seen a huge number of examples of this ticket come up since I've been watching, but here's one where the ticket (probably around a 7 or 8) went for $66 bucks: 310282720458
Hope this helps!

I was at that game and am still po'd to this day. The batteries in my camera decided to take a crap right before he got his 3,000th. So I was not able to capture the moment like I wanted to. As we left the stadium, we were given 8x10 cards that said something to the fact that I was there for his 3,000th hit. I ordered some from the Twins afterward (like mentioned above). If I remember correctly, the Twins mailed some other 8x10 card with these ordered tickets. I'll have to find these after I move.

The ticket your referring to is a BCCG plastic encased,,,, try not even thinking thats "graded" at all its a mass market "protective" piece of plastic
with minimal reviews done for mass production sales to the general public with no experience,,,,
Used to sell to people who wouldn't know what PSA/DNA is ,,,,,,,,,,,, or any other TPG for that matter >>
ABSOLUTELY
I'll watch to see what activity takes place.

I don't think Palmeiro and Biggio tickets are that hard to find.
