worth it), authentic only for stubs.. just my 2 cents.. good luck!!!
Bobby,
I agree with much of 36GoudeyMan's comments, but I would also ask you in advance what you plan on having slabbed?

I'm not a huge fan of PSA, but IMHO I feel that what the item is can be important with regards to whether or not you want to spend the money to have it graded or authenticated. Scarcity and potential value of the ticket should be considered. Some examples to possibly consider grading/authenticating might be vintage tickets from these types of historic games: 3000th hits, 500th HR's, 300th wins, older All Star game tickets and World Series tickets as the previous member mentioned. Slabbing a modern ticket that's readily available doesn't make a lot of sense since there's a reasonably significant cost involved....

I hope you find this helpful.
