Tickets

Is it me or are the prices for vintage stubs constantly climbing? I have been adding to my collection non stop for a year and have noticed the prices of stubs and programs to "nothing games" almost rise by 50% over the past few months.

No, I've noticed it too, it always make me go back and re-check the game stats, thinking I maybe missed something, but yep always seems to be a nothing overly special game.

There seem to be more people collecting vintage baseball tickets.

These 55 tickets are going for 150 and so are the programs. So crazy. Even 53 tickets are going nuts.

Someone bought a 56 reds stub vs dodgers @ cincy for 20 bucks with 2 punch holes and no Jackie. It's nuts. I might have to sit out a while and wait for the frenzy to chill out.

It depends on the collector as well as the game. 1971 pirate tickets are a good example. I am aware of three other collectors chasing them. If a ticket is listed that all four of us need we artificially inflate the price. Sellers see this and occasionally list a meaningless stub at $100. If a stub is listed we all have it sits there for months at less than $10. So I don't necessarily think inflated prices reflect long term value.

I guess so. That's just annoying.

one thing vintage tickets do that very few of the other sports memorabilia
can not provide , is have the new owner live vicariously through the original ticket owner , possibly imagining having that ticket in his pocket sitting in the stadium watching the game, maybe witnessing a milestone event , Big HR , No Hitter ,MLB Debut First win Last win or last Game played by a hall of Fame or their favorite player
obviously collecting old baseball items will never die especially vintage quality cards.
But tickets add that extra dimension plus there are significantly less available
so the very limited supply verses the growing demand for the older tickets is enhancing the value, plus condition is not as important as the "actual date of the ticket"so no need to worry to much on condition as it pertains to value if a key date , which helps the novice collector make that purchase

Thought some folks might get a kick out of seeing images of what it looked like to listen/watch the returns from the away football games. These images are later, c. 1935, but you can get an idea. These were taken from the "New" Armory, constructed in 1915 (later called Barton Hall for die hard Grateful Dead Fans).
