I don't believe in grading them at all. Tickets were meant to be handled and torn (in the old days). they spent the whole game in someones pocket or wallet. There is no way to get a high grade on an old ticket. The only thing I will concede is if you are not sure its real it may be OK to get it authenticated (skip the grade) but I have yet to see a counterfeit ticket. Just think its a waste of time and money..... I just read Phils post after I posted, great minds think alike.
