The smile he gave me when he said "AT LEAST four" told me that he probably has more.

Getting these loose tickets graded by PSA was a complete waste of money IMHO. I stated this in my original post on this thread. With the potential value diminishing by the moment, think how much Meatlof has already spent on plastic slabs. In the end, he may end up scrambling just to recover the PSA bill. BTW, if I'm not mistaken, PSA charges $50- $75 to authenticate these tickets. Good luck recovering all your money...

The PSA grading/slabbing fees for tickets is $25 if you declare the value under $500
and $50 if you declare it over $500

Jay,
When I contacted PSA a while ago, I thought that they quoted me $50 for grading tickets pre-1974. Maybe I misunderstood??

How much do they charge for grading Omahog tickets that are $9,999 OBO on eBay? LOL

Scott, I got the prices off their website Though as you stated $9,999 Omahog's may command the "Kings Ransom" rate.

Thanks Jay!

I sent tickets in a few months ago. All were from 1920s-2010. They were $25 a piece.

Bumping for updates . . .

Did we ever find out how many books there are?

Tickets rarely show up in my searches on eBay but when I saw one this morning for $125 BIN I jumped on it. A great looking ticket, Dave Rowe (of OJ fame) was president of the club (printed on ticket), beautiful looking ticket, I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

I somehow missed this thread (or forgot about it), only found it after a quick search after I purchased the ticket. I'm sad to hear the previous owner cut up a book. They are great looking tickets, glad to add one to my collection even if I paid too much. I now wonder how many have already been sold into the hobby and how many remain.

Dan, I often think of you when I see Omaha items, did you end up getting a booklet? I know it is a bit outside your scope, but would really be at home in your collection.

More than anything, I'm just looking for an update on these neat tickets. Do we stand at ~20 free tickets and 3 books?
