Hi Jeff,
Good question!
I have collected baseball tickets for over 43 years.
At one time I owned a Tris Speaker 3,000th hit ticket which is still in the hobby. I collected the 3,000 hit theme for many years before narrowing my collection focus which is related to power pitching (no-hitters, high strikeouts, 200 & 300 win) tickets.
The ticket was discovered perhaps 20-25 years ago in a frame along with 2-3 Cleveland Indians World Series tickets from the 1920's by a close hobby friend in the Cleveland area that specializes in ephemera. The ticket stub did not have a printed date, but did have the date written on the back in pencil. All of the tickets in the frame had pencil date inscriptions on the back written by the same patron.
I have never heard of the other 3,000 hit tickets that you inquired about existing in the hobby. I hope this helps!
