I have a pretty extensive ticket collection and none are graded. In fact I just won two full Mickey Mantle homerun tickets in Huggins & Scott auction. When they arrive I will free them from their plastic tombs! If a ticket came back graded a "10" it may add some value to some people but anything less (and most get graded very low because they grade them on card standards and they are meant to be taken to the game and stuck in your pocket) just devalues them. I suppose getting them graded as "authentic" at least makes some people feel better but I have not really seen very many counterfeit tickets. The only one I really remember was a 1919 World Series ticket but it was so bad most anyone could tell. I have to laugh when people claim their PSA graded ticket is the only one in existance because the population report said it was the only one graded. As Scott said, most collectors do not grade them.
