Looking for opinions on the value of a Henderson 3000th hit season ticket and the acceptance of the ticket as a 3k hit ticket.

Most know that Rickey Henderson picked up his 3,000th hit on Oct. 7th. But, for those who are unaware, this was a makeup game, due to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Below is a list of the games that were postponed and the makeup date.

9/11 vs Dodgers: PPD --> 10/2
9/12 vs Dodgers: PPD --> 10/3
9/13 vs Dodgers: PPD --> 10/4
9/14 vs Rockies: PPD --> 10/5
9/15 vs Rockies: PPD --> 10/6
9/16 vs Rockies: PPD --> 10/7

Note that the 10/7 game was originally scheduled on 9/16. From what I have been told, the 9/16 ticket was accepted and stamped with a red star on the back of the ticket (as seen in the attached image).

Hi, that is most definitely a legitimate 3000th hit ticket, as well as Tony Gwynn's last game! So it's doubly collectible. The only way to have a season type ticket is to buy this one with the September 16th original date on it. There are box office types that have the correct date on them for people who like to have the proper date but both are from that game. I would say that value is about $50 to $100 on these. Some have a star stamped on the back from the Tony Gwynn ticket holder giveaway. If you are a stickler for perfection you may try and find one that has no stamp.
