The scans of the tickets below kind of fit this topic, and even if they do veer a bit of course, please indulge me as we don't talk about ticket stubs all that much.
Even though the first baseball game in Cleveland Stadium didn't take place on opening day (July 31, 1932), it is similar to Doug's first-game-in-Los-Angeles collection. The top ticket stub in the scan was used for admittance; the other two are proofs.
The 1947 and '48 opening-day ticket stub and ticket are more ornate examples compared to the more common pedestrain example from 1964. Sadly, by the late 1950s, many teams stopped creating attractive tickets for regular-season games.
The 1975 opening-day ticket stub also was Frank Robinson's debut as baseball's first black manager, an example of when a special event can enhance the value.
