Excellent pick up!
David,
Congrats on your excellent pick up!
I don't know what you paid for the Mantle 500th HR ticket, but it's value is certainly in the $800-$1,300 range. These tickets do exist, but they only enter the hobby from time to time. Your particular stub appears to be an terrific example with an even tear at the perferation and sharp corners that definitely enhances value. Does the ticket have any staining or writing on the back?
I have collected baseball tickets for 40 years and have seen a few surface. Over 18,800 attended Mantle's 500th HR game in NY, which is a reasonable amount of patrons in atten, just as a referance point.
