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.
