Default When to Slab Tickets/Stubs?

Hi All-

Seems I have this question annually, as it seems I "Find" an Important Ticket / Stub (or in this case, stubs via auction) once a year.

Seems every time I ask "should I slab these," seems the consensus is typically "No," and it seemed with the auction of the last one I had (early Jordan ~ $1k end on eBay), this was completely valid/true.

I guess the question this time is for Ticket Stubs / Tickets WHEN is it the best move to grade them?
  • Debut of a HOFer?
  • Major Milestone such as 500 HR? (though I think I had one of those previously and talked out of it)
  • World Series Games?
  • High Grade? (Do these really matter? Grades for Tickets seem to be a toss-up in MOST cases)
  • Low Pop with perceived demand?

Admittedly, I will probably sell this grouping raw given previous experience (and TAT) and you will probably see them here on B/S/T once in hand; was just wondering
