I'm always surprised by how little ticket stubs sell for. I have a couple of field level stubs from Game 1 of the '86 world series. I keep them locked away and forget about them. Then every five or ten years or so I run across them, think they might be worth something, and run a couple of searches. Only to find that they're worth maybe $50-75 apiece. If that. Then back into the closet they go.
Reminds me of when a friend, browsing at a used book store, found a manuscript from the 1600s, selling for only $20. What a steal, he thought. So he bought it and took it to an appraiser, who told him, "It's probably worth about $20."
