I started collecting 3000 hit tickets/stubs a little over a year ago. I have every one (working backwards) from biggio to Rose (Brock was the hardest for me so far). Next up would be Kaline from 9/24/74 and after that Clemente. I had intended to wait till Jeter and maybe Pudge (outside shot) get 3000 hits and then make a display, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how hard the other tickets would be. I have not seen a Kaline but assume there are some out there. I've heard Clemente is hard, and know nothing about the other ones. Is there some point where they get too hard or too pricey to find (I know pricey is in the eye of the beholder, but for me this is a fun side project and too much money would be funds lost towards autographs that I need/want).

1908 Washington Univ. Tour of Japan Ticket
This just arrived from Japan today. This is the oldest ticket in my collection and first from the Meiji Era. Washington University vs Waseda University played October 3, 1908. Washington won the game 4-1.

3000 hit tickets
Quote:
Both the Clemente and Kaline 3000th are somewhat difficult. Of the two I have seen more examples of the Clemente 3000th hit ticket through the years and very few of the Kaline. I think that I have personally only seen one or two of the Kaline in my 37 years of collecting baseball tickets, but perhaps 15+ of the Clemente to put it in perspective. Expect to pay approximately $1200+ for the Clemente and the same or more for the Kaline. The prices of these earlier 3000th hit tickets appears to be on the rise due to the number of people collecting this theme. Even though I am not a fan of PSA grading, this is driving the price north as people are attempting to complete PSA graded vertical sets including the 3000 hit theme. I hope this helps!

Thanks Scott, I appreciate the info. The Clemente sounds a bit less than I thought it would be, but the Kaline is more. At some point I have to decide what the break off point is because I really doubt I would get a chance to get any of the ones prior to Musial anyway, but I at least have a year or more to decide and look while Jeter gets there.
Thanks again, Mike

3000 hit tickets
Mike,
You're welcome & I'm glad that you found my response somewhat helpful. I can tell you that you are absolutely correct that finding any of the other 3000hit members prior to Musial will be not only difficult, but spendy as well. I used to collect 3000 hit tickets up until about 8 years ago. At one time I had a Tris Speaker 3000th hit ticket (yes there is at least one out there) and I had Musial, Clemente, Aaron, Kaline as well. Good luck on your search. Remember, when it comes to collecting, there is never a wrong answer because at the end of the day it is YOUR collection. Happy New Year!
