Vintage tickets, what type of case do you use?

I'm contemplating whether to submit some more tickets to PSA for authenticating/holdering.

Although I enjoy the raw form of a ticket without a bulky plastic holder.
I also enjoy the visual of a PSA label describing the event.

A "Tall Boy" 3x5 toploader seems to work for most my raw stubs.
Wanting to know what else is out there?

sharing photo examples would be wonderful to see.

Hi Drift,
My standard go to is a 7 1/2" x 3 1/4" (it's labeled as 3" x 7") ticket/currency top loader for most stubs and full tickets. The manufacturer that I use is SafTgard Supplies.

For more special rare tickets that I plan to display, I use custom acrylic screwdown cases that a gentleman in So Cal used to hand make for me and other people 15-20 years ago. Several excellent screw down bricks are available in the marketplace. If you attend the National Sportscard Convention, there are always dealers that specialize in supplies with a variety of display/storage options.

Here is a look at how I display my tickets in a top loader and a couple of my custom screwdown acrylic cases that I mentioned.

BTW, my personal bias is that I do not like to slab tickets. The date and most important info about the game is already on the ticket and I don't feel the need to pay someone to tell me what event a ticket was used for. To each is own, though!

The great thing about collecting is that you have different options and choices about how you want to display your collection and how you spend your money.
There definitely is no right or wrong answer, FWIW.


Good collecting,
Scott

Thanks for sharing Scott.

Those are very classy acrylic cases.
Beautiful display all the way around.

You've Inspired me to do some searching for the custom case makers.

What game is that 50's-70's era Detroit Tigers ticket from?

Thank you!
The green Tigers stub is from Nolan Ryan's 2nd career no-hitter on 7/15/73.
The tickets immediately behind it are no-hitters #1 (at KC- pink stub), full tickets to no-hitters # 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 going left to right in the case.

He threw that on the day I was born.
