Ticket stubs and creases

My thought is a stub with a crease just shows it was really used for its intended purpose and actually is more desirable to me. I was just wondering how the condition of ticket stubs might be perceived? Thanks.

Like others have said I don't mind minor creases in a stub. Now I would prefer one without a crease and in the best condition I can find. I wouldn't go as far as what you said and be "actually more desirable". I'm not into grading stubs, or cards for that matter, so what a grading company state about a grade doesn't do anything for me at all.

I don't want anything graded. Takes up too much space, costs too much, too arbitrary (if not suspect) and it makes it too hard to actually enjoy the collection.

Creases don't bother me, especially on older, hard to find tickets. These days, I'd be suspicious of an 80 year old ticket that didn't have creases. I'd rather have it show it's age and remove all doubt.
