This auction ended on Ebay last night, I was surprised by the price. Not a photo but pretty neat.

Surprisedd as in cheap or high? I didn't see it or I would have bid. I think the winner got a great deal IMO.

Hi Ben,
At least when it comes to collecting tickets, the last game of the hitting streak (game 56) would be much more valuable than when the streak ended (game 57).

Most collectors collect the sizzle, not the fizzle, so to speak...

I was also shocked at the realized price on eBay. I know guys that have collected tickets and programs to Joe D's streak that wouldn't touch items relating to the end of the streak with a ten foot pole, FWIW.

I understand the thought process.. But it is still a great ticket. If I remember correctly, the day the streak ended for gehrig ticket went pretty well in a heritage auction last year. i dont collect joe d streak items i i would have touched it. I do see your point though.
