Pop Report for Single Player HR tickets?

[mcgwirecom]

I collect a lot of different ticket themes. I started with all Mark McGwire HRs. I need only about 14 more to finish that set. I also collect all Jim Thome HRs and need about 20 to finish. That being said, the cost of getting every ticket slabbed would be cost prohibitive. In fact very few of my tickets are graded. To use PSA's population report to determine how many of a certain ticket still exist is not a good idea. as already mentioned milestone tickets probably get sent in many times more than other tickets so that would skew the numbers towards them. But I feel most set collectors do not get their tickets graded.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

So, for milestone tickets does it make no difference whether it is graded or not? I guess I had been under the impression that being slabbed was preferable, but when I looked at the total pop report for slabbed tickets I saw a much smaller # than I expected (which is why I wondered if I was looking in the wrong place).

I think it possibly makes a difference if you are looking to sell the ticket (that may soon change with all the heat PSA is getting re: their incompetence). Other than that - educate yourself so you are clear what you are looking for and at and have at it.
