Help with Ticket Collecting

[ChiSoxFan]

Thanks for the replies. I will be looking into getting some of those top loaders. Since Chris Bootcheck pitched in just under 100 games, makes it nice since the top loaders come in boxes of 25.

Scott, yes I would be interested in the info for the online sellers. You can either post, PM, or email the info. Whichever is most convenient for you.

Just so I know the difference, guessing this is a Season Ticket ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/141660343380

Whereas this is a Generic Ticketmaster Ticket ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/201345804260

Note that both tickets are for the same game.


Also, how can you tell the difference between a Ticket Stub and a Full Ticket. To me, the first link above appears to be a Full ticket, but the auction states it as a ticket stub?



Thanks again for the help,
James

The first one is a season ticket but the second is not a Ticketmaster ticket since it was distributed directly by the ball club. This is the kind of ticket you get at the ticket window. These generally are not as desirable as season tickets but they are definitely a step up from Ticketmaster tickets.

Ticketmaster tickets are printed on their own stock so they look about the same no matter if it's for a ballgame, the circus, concert, etc. They look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nolan-Ryan-C...item20fa961d24


Tickets these days get scanned upon entry so recent tickets are almost always full tickets. In the past, tickets were torn as you entered and what you were handed back was a stub. A full ticket for older games is an unused one.
