Help with a ticket stub - Mickey Mantle Major League debut

[Scott Garner]

Hi & welcome to net54,

Your picture is too small to offer much detail on the overall condition of this ticket. A better scan would be helpful. Mantle's debut ticket is worth somewhere around $2,000, give or take a few hundred dollars.

You can get the ticket to reposition in the slab by tapping it edgewise on the lower right hand corner. Then it should have the orientation that you're looking for in the PSA case. It probably just got jostled when it was shipped from PSA.

I hope you find this helpful!

Thanks Scott, and here's a better scan

Much better, thanks!

The ticket appears to be in EX condition assuming it doesn't have writing, stains, glue etc. on the back. The upper two corners are a little soft, otherwise this would grade higher. If the back is clean, I will stand pat on my best guess on the value.

A very nice ticket to own. The absolute beginning to The Mick's great HOF career with the Bronx Bombers!

Thanks, Scott - worked like a charm! (A very satisfied new Net54 customer!)

And yes, back is clean and full ticket is free of marks, tape, glue, etc.

Opted not to for a letter grade from PSA because of rounded corners, general wear, plus their warning about low grades of stubs in general.

Good strategy!

Rick, I sold one on Ebay several years ago. I believe I got just over $4000 for it in ugraded condition, on Ebay! I was shocked. Here is a scan of it.

Yeah, but yours has a palindromic Sec-Row-Seat number, Randy.

Put the ticket in Robert Edwards Auctions next spring. You better hurry up and contact them because they will not accept new items for much longer.

Call REA up next week and talk to Tom D'Alonzo about putting it in their auction. They are one of the best in the business, FYI.

Good luck!
