Need advice - What is a PROOF World Series Ticket worth?

[koufax1791]

I have seen a WS 1965 Gm 7 PROOF Full ticket listed for sale. It has been graded by PSA as Gem MT 10. It has perforated holes in it.

What would this be worth?

Thanks

It would have minimal value if it did not have seat numbers.

Ticket collectors are not big on proof tickets. If you are thinking of possibly buying a proof ticket to this game, I would recommend that you hold out for a real ticket with seat numbers.
In the long run, it will be a much better spend of your money.

I hope this helps!

I totally agree with Scott... proof and/or phantom tickets generally are not very popular with collectors.

On the other hand, at least when it comes to World Series phantom tickets, they're interesting collectibles for team collectors, and can provide an opportunity to own a genuine World Series ticket for a low price.

("Genuine" in the sense that they were issued by the team, and had the team made it the ticket would have been valid for entry to the game. That fans are not required to return the tickets to get a refund for unplayed games is a good thing, because it allows the tickets to remain in private hands and the individual collector to decide if it's something he wants to add to his collection.)

And, yes, phantom World Series ticket also allow a fan a chance to dream... a chance to play "what if"...

1965 proof tickets for the Twins home games, which includes games 1,2,6, and 7, are particularly common. I've owned full sets before and have seen many others. The ones I had were perforated with the word VOID.

Actual tickets, with seat and section numbers, as everyone else is saying, are far more desirable.

Phantoms are a different thing and are cool for different reasons. I have a set of 1962 Twins World Series tickets, which aren't super valuable but are a really neat "what if" display item.
