I actually "use" my hard tickets but when I go to a game they're in a top loader so I don't have to worry about condition - they scan just as well in the holder as if they were "raw."
I wonder if those with access to "print at home" tickets can print them out after the fact.

As reported by mcgwirecom (Randall Hahn) in the "Teams negotiate to get back homerun balls" thread, somebody actually paid
$499.99 for one (Ebay item number 180897612084, auction ended 6/2/12 at 07:00:04 PDT via "Buy It Now":
link)! I'm sure this was an extreme example, caused by hysteria/enthusiasm/emotion, since the purchase was made maybe 12 hours or so after the final out, but still, the fact is that someone did pay $500 for a ticket (presuming the buyer doesn't try to back out of the deal).
Anyway, for the record - and for the benefit of those don't have a spare $500 lying around the house (as well as for the benefit of those who do have a spare $500 lying around the house but can think of more 'substantial' memorabilia to spend it on) - I've attached a scan of one of my tickets from the game.
