You didn't really make me mad. I just want to make sure that people know that Psa is good for stating the event of the game. For example 1937 gam4 is Gehrig last World Series homerun, 1937 game five is the Yankees clincher, 1956 game five is a Larsen perfect game, 1956 game seven is a Yankee clincher as well as Jackie Robinson's last game, 1951 game one World Series ticket is Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle's world series debut 1951 game 2 Mickey Mantle slips on a drain and hurt his knee 1951 game six is a Yankees clincher 1952 game one Jackie Robinson hit a homerun 1952 game six was mantles World Series first homerun 1952 game seven is mantles second career homerun and a clincher. It took me 30 seconds to type this and I know what happened in the games but the majority of people even if they are baseball fans have no idea. When people look at these tickets (not slabbed) they just look at the face value and think it's cool. many dealers and casual baseball fans since they aren't dealing with tickets every day make these mistakes commonly. I can give example for a ticket collector picked up a 1952 game seven Mickey Mantle second World Series homerun it's probably worth close to 750-$1000 for $100 because the gentleman had it marked "52 World Series Dodgers ticket"... That was bought at this years national... That is why I advocate for holdering/ grading your expensive stubs.... Yours truly Jamie Burzynski
By the way the ugly called shot ticket that was ripped at the top that got a Psa 2 with the program was given that grade because Psa deemed that rip as a poor ushers tear...if the gentleman did get a 3 on his called shot, that again was graded fairly... I say that because if I recall the ticket when I was looking at it initially (thinking about bidding on it) I thought it would grade a 3.... Here is a good nugget for those of you that care... If you can see any kind of crease on your ticket no matter the age (even 1920s) that ticket shouldn't get over a 4.
