Any other frustrated collectors out there???

The Padres have been doing this for a few years now. My father visits SD at least once a year from AZ but has become bitter with them because of the lack of programs and paper ephemera they phased out I want to say like 3-4 years ago.

Boston is pushing for more of a digital footprint where necessary as well. My family and I went to Game 1 of the World Series in 2018 via StubHub. Unlike prior WS years at Fenway, its been impossible to find a paper ticket in the secondary market for 2018 because so many tickets were sent digitally.

Unfortunately, like chalkboards and cursive writing in school, paper mementos are gradually losing importance in a digital push. Even paper trading cards have to be slabbed in plastic and catalogued online these days
