Here's the season ticket version of the ticket from Johan Santana's 2012 no-hitter against St. Louis, the first no-no in Mets' history.
 The team later offered reprints of these tickets - I believe season ticket holders got reprints of the tickets for their seats free, plan holders could buy reprints at a reduced rate, and the general public could buy them for $50 (I think) apiece. The Mets said the reprints would be exactly the same as the originals, but when I received mine I noticed the line "Season Ticket" did not appear on the reprint. Ironically, Mets' season tickets are usually issued in a spiral-bound book, in strips of four, but in 2012 they were issued in shrinkwrapped bricks of individual tickets. Had 2012 season tickets been issued spiral-bound, it would have been easier to distinguish reprints because the originals would have had perforations on one or two sides, whereas the reprints have straight edges on all sides. And speaking of reprints... here's a "souvenir commemorative" ticket to Roy Halladay's perfect game against the Florida Marlins, May 29, 2010. The Marlins sold tickets to the seats that went unsold for the actual game as souvenirs after the fact. Unfortunately, they charged the actual ticket price for the reprints, instead of a nominal reduced rate. So this ticket cost me $16.00 plus fees and such.  Note the A10JUN0 date in the lower left corner - this indicates the date the ticket was printed (6/10/10), proving this ticket was printed AFTER the game and thus is a "souvenir commemorative" ticket and not an actual ticket that was used, or could have been used, to attend the game. So at least it'll be easy to identify "real" tickets from these "souvenirs." Fortunately, I knew I wasn't buying anything that would wind up being valuable - I did it for fun - but I wonder how many of these were sold after the fact, presumably to people who thought they were getting something good.

Ted Williams-Cleveland pass
Not quite a ticket, but this pass was my holy grail for quite some time....
1960 Indians season pass-the splendid splinter hit 29 homers in his final season with 5 of them against the Indians on their home turf. Among the 5 were Ted's #500, and #513 to pass Mel Ott who at the time stood only behind Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx. Very happy to finally have this one in the collection!

A few cool baseball tickets to share...
Here are some of my favorite baseball tickets that are not related to no-hitters:
1) Nolan Ryan ML debut and 1st strikeout full, unused ticket. Very scarce, I know of only two of these full tickets in the hobby. 2) Nolan Ryan 1st win ticket stub. Another toughee, I only know of 4 of these existing 3) Nolan Ryan 383 K and Sandy Koufax 382 K ticket stubs. Nolan's ML record 383 K's in a season will likely never be broken. Sandy Koufax's NL and lefty single season record is also an amazing record in its own right! 4) Tom Cheney's ML record of 21 K's in a 15 inning game. Cheney is the only pitcher to ever strike out 21 in a ML game & this is the only ticket that I have ever seen to this historic game. 5) A full ticket to a 19 inning marathon game that featured HOF's Rapid Robert Feller pitching 9 innings and Satchel Paige pitching 10 innings in relief. The game was played on July 1, 1952 at CLE. Cool game! Last edited by Scott Garner; 06-28-2015 at 08:55 PM.

Correct! The full, unused ticket. A fair amount of the stubs to his debut game are out there. I suspect that I have seen at least 15 of these... Last edited by Scott Garner; 06-28-2015 at 08:56 PM.
