As for full tickets with holes punched...I don't believe they are "used". I was told with regard to vintage LA Dodgers tickets as well as a few others, the holes were punched before they were given to a ticketholder as they were "comp" tickets. Meaning of course that they were not charged for them (possibly players families, etc) the holes were so they could not try to trade them back in for a refund. Thats the reason you see a lot of full tickets with holes. The holder did not pay anything and therefore if they couldn't go to the game they didn't lose any money nor could they trade them for another date. So they are still a full, unused ticket.

Hmm. I had understood that at least some untorn, punched tickets were punched at the gates and were therefore used. I can see how some teams may have punched freebies for the reasons stated above, but do some then believe that all untorn, punched tickets are unused freebies? Just seeking clarification because I'm learning here. Thanks for everyone's insight.

I'm a long-time ticket collector as well and thoroughly enjoyed reading through this thread and I'm really glad to see the interest and enthusiasm for ticket collecting. Good stuff. I'd add that one of the appeals (to me, at least) of ticket collecting is that each ticket is truly unique. In most cases (Scott's example of the box seat tickets is a good example of this not being the case), each ticket is specific to one seat in one venue for one event on one date. As a collector, when you own it, no one else on the planet owns THAT ticket to the sec/row/seat it identifies. It's 1 of 1. My two cents worth...
