By consistent, you obviously mean consistently wrong....calling Game 5 of the 1919 WS, Game 3, thus getting it wrong for your 12 year old son who only goes by the flip.

For those who don't know pretty much prior to 1920 (I could be off by a couple years) some home teams in the WS would just label their ticket 1,2,3,4 for home games, not the game number of the Series. So the 3 on the Sox Ticket was for home game # 3 of the Series for them, not the 3rd overall game. Thus 1st 2 being played in Cincy, made Game 3, White Sox home game # 1. So home game # 3 was actually Game 5 of the Series.

...hey 1 out 3 ain't bad. PSA batting .333 - Now how would you like your son to bring home a 33% on a test.

also riddle me this genius of the lamp.....take a look at that 1st 1919 ticket they got wrong, and it's graded "Authentic", but that sure looks like a 2 to me, I mean a 4, no wait a 3.....could be 5, no it's a 2..................or is it a 3?

Your telling me this one is Authentic while the one below it with paper loss is a 3??????? and that brutal 1932 one is a 2...oh yah they are consistent.

Your picking one game out of thousands of games that PSA has graded. Yes that ticket was mislabeled and actually I believe went through a large auction house and they didn't catch it....A ticket that was the clincher for this series with another from Cincinnati brought 16000 for the pair because I and a couple of individuals absolutely knew that PSA made a mistake. Do you think it would be more likely mislabeled by PSA or another baseball specialist selling it as raw. Apparently the owner of the ticket didn't know it was game 5 either or they would have had PSA correct the slab. You haven't done anything to enlighten/ educate the readers to why you correctly were able to label the ticket as a game 5. It is a game 5 ticket because the World Series prior to 1919 had the home game on the ticket not the correct World Series game (so that whitesox ticket was valid for home game 3 which was game 5 of the series.).
PSA STATING WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO THAT GAME (THE FLIP) HELPS SELL, DISPLAY, & EDUCATE THE POPULATION and has advanced the price and popularity of tickets.

If you handed a stack of (4) 1960 Boston tickets to board members with various dates and 1 dated 9/28/1960 and said what are these worth. They wouldn't get up to the price of the one ticket September 28, 1960 that you sold holdered for $500 (which was a very fair price) I wish I would have bought it, because they wouldn't have know the significance of the 9/28/1960'game.

I am collecting all 4 Koufax no hitters/ perfect game tickets (please email me if you have one to sell). I couldn't pick any of them out of a stack of Dodgers tickets. I can't even tell you what years he completed the task, but if someone holdered that ticket with a PSA label I would immediately spot it in their showcase... IN A PSA HOLDER...MANY KOUFAX FANS, TICKET COLLECTORS,MEMORABILIA COLLECTORS, CARD COLLECTORS ARE NOW SECURE THAT IS THE GAME THAT KOUFAX THREW A No HITTER AND THAT TICKET IS ORIGINAL.

was your ticket from 1961 or 1960. The PSA slab says 1960 but you say 1961. People make mistakes (even REA) Your mistake wasn't a big deal and most didn't notice it and your ticket still sold (GLAD PSA DIDN'T HAVE A TYPO) You have intelligently stated why you dislike PSA . Some tickets I send to PSA and some I don't. I get frustrated by them, but I am glad they are in business. I can choose to use them or not. They are going to make mistakes, but they do try to correct them. Their turn around time is too slow but I still appreciate their business. For the record I too don't care if a ticket is a two or three as long as it looks nice. If it is graded a four or better. I KNOW ITS NICE

Rare ticket stub from Ted Williams' final game on September 28, 1961, at Fenway Park. Ted Williams' final game took many people by surprise. While everyone knew that the 1960 season was to be his last, everyone assumed he would close out his career during the club's final three-game series at Yankee Stadium. Instead, Williams received permission from the club to skip the final road trip, meaning his final game would take place against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on September 28th. With no official announcement made regarding Williams' decision, it's no wonder that only about 10,000 showed up to witness history that day. Williams' final at bat took came in the eighth inning and even Hollywood could not have come up with a better ending. Years later Curt Gowdy, longtime broadcaster for the Red Sox who called the game that day, recounted the drama of "Teddy Ballgame's" goodbye: "His last time up, there were maybe 10,000 people at Fenway. It was a cold, gray day. He ran the count to 2-and-2. Jack Fisher threw him a letter-high fastball and Ted hit it high and far and it landed in the right-field grandstand. He rounded the bases with his head down as he always did, crossed the plate and ran into the dugout. The fans were screaming for him to take a bow, but he never did so. When Carroll Hardy replaced Williams in left field in the top of the ninth inning, one of the greatest chapters in baseball history came to an official close. This rare ticket commemorates that memorable finale and is one of only a few to surface.

Only 7 graded by PSA!!!!

Mine was a typo in a thread. They are paid to get it right, and it's on the product they provide, BIG difference. On the product I sold everything was correct. They have a history of making errors on the service they provide.

And you still have failed to address the Authentic 1919 ticket vs the PSA 3 ticket. Crack the Authentic one out of its slab and put it in the same auction as the one marked PSA 3, which gets the better price?
