Valuing a Ticket Stub?

Don’t send it to the opinion sellers. Put it in a little card holder and enjoy it.

I just want it in a cool holder, don't even care about the grade but would be cool to have encapsulated - actually will more than likely just go BGS, assuming they'll put the milestone on the slab. I don't keep much that I buy, but I actually plan on hanging onto this for a while (getting into stubs - they're neat, semi-unique/rarer than cards, and are a cool piece of history [even boring, non-milestone games])

I hate the “cool holder.” But, to each, their own.

I strongly agree. I understand that, for eventual resale, it can sometimes (but certainly not always) make financial sense to pay to get a vintage item slabbed, but I never think a beautiful item from that era looks good with a modern label from a third party authenticator/grader. I think that definitely detracts from the coolness and eye appeal of the item itself. To protect a vintage ticket, I much prefer placing it yourself in a simple, clear holder — with a label from a label printer if desired.
