Calling ticket experts! - holy grail find?

[steve B]

Only if we also get an "opinion shop" area where people can go after they've checked everywhere else.
My expert friend says it's real
PSA/SGC/random other expert says it's real.
Dealer at random show says it's real

What do the experts here think?

How about price?
I did research
I asked a dealer who asked some other people.

What do you guys think?

Nah, the whole lot of you are old and crazy.
Who do I ask to get the opinion I want?

Always bogus question posing as a request for information. What it is is a request for validation and nothing more. Basically your wife asking "do I look fat in this?". Only one answer is being sought.

Thats exactly what it was. You need to go in the mush room

Tickets are real, and worth what someone will pay.

Done and Done.


Gee, . . . .so what was the point of any of this? You needed your gentitals massaged by a board of angry old men?

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

The point was I was looking for judgements on authenticity as I'd never seen this sheet before and couldn't find it.

I do appreciate your wisdom though on many subjects here. You seem very knowledgeable in many areas of the hobby.

Pretty interesting thread (in spots).

Would someone mind defining a proof, exactly?

Either a ticket that was never meant to be used or a ticket for a game that was never played.

Conor,
Proof tickets are tickets with no seat or row numbers printed on them. Frequently they were used as ticket salesman samples. They would be shown to potential ticket customers as samples of tickets that the company was capable of producing.
It also should be noted that these tickets are frequently found in entire ticket strips with multiple tickets, not unlike the strip that has been shown in this thread.

Historically, they typically are less desirable than an actual ticket with seat/row numbers to the ticket collector. That being said, the World Series strip that Stephen has is interesting because of age and it contains a significant game of historic notoriety.

FWIW, if I were Stephen I wouldn't separate the tickets as I see them as possibly being more unusual if kept intact. My thinking would be that since they had survived over 80 years, why alter their appearance? If nothing else they look cool for display or possibly being framed. Just my 2 cents...

See if you would re read my original post, you would see I didn't ask once for a value. I actually never asked anyone for a value. I came to my own conclusion on that. Never did I say anyone here is old and crazy. More alternative facts.

I came here asking for opinions on authenticity.

Dave then proceeded to crap on me and tell me do more homework because it's not hard to find (meanwhile there was only one other sheet sale ever documented and it was in a lot in 2012 and not titled what I was looking for).

Then I came back here explaining how I lost a deal because "experts" valued it at 2500-3500 when broken down they are worth over 5K.

Then it turned into why stubs are better than proofs (not sure how or why that started)

I don't know if you have been actually following this thread, or just forming opinions based on the most previous post.

I think this thread has run it's course.

Tickets are real, and worth what someone will pay.

Done and Done.

Why do people come on here seriously so angry and just nasty?

It seriously is mind boggling to me and makes this hobby unenjoyable.

You all complain about oh the hobby isn't what it used to be etc. etc.

I can almost guarantee it's because when young guys try to get involved, a bunch of the more "experienced" guys have to try to show who's genitals are bigger.

Instead of oh wow thats a nice find, 99% of the people who wrote in this thread just plain hated.
