Question for ticket/stub collectors

[conor912]

Interesting thoughts...makes total sense. Thanks guys. I'd love to hear how others rank them too. I like the idea of how collectors within such a tight niche of the hobby can still value things completely differently.

Has there ever been a study done to find out what percentage of games played in any given season end up having nothing historically significant happen in them? If not, someone feel free to use this idea for your statistics thesis and report back

I generally only collect tickets to games played by the Pirates in 1971. I stray from this occasionally for milestone stubs or famous games such as Game 7 1960 Series, Game 6 of 1977 Series, Hank Aaron April 8th 1974 etc. I searched for a 1971 Season pass to Three Rivers that was unpunched for many years. It's value and significance is only of importance to me. I live on the west coast so ebay has been my primary source of Pirate stubs other than Lenny Sterran. My dream ticket is 09/01/71. I have never seen one and would certainly pay a premium for one and a finders fee to anyone who could point me in the right direction.
