litterally cheaper to have bought 4 tickets to ACTUALLY go to game

So many folks are sold on the idea of these as investment and just don’t bring logic into the equation.

Justin what logic are you talking about? It is a game issued item, had to attend the event, and much more scarce then any base card in Topps or Bowman.
It is a collectible just as anything.
If something isn’t for you that is understandable but i never get the argument that it isn’t an investment.

Paul that is an misinformed take. There are probably about 100 physical tickets. As we all know from attending MLB games you do not get ‘tickets” anymore.
It is all through the MLB app.
Same opinion as saying there are 20K ticket stubs sitting around from any World Series game from 1920 - today.

I think it’s the pop 50,000 that has some people scratching their heads.

The KC Royals policy is to not issue any hard tickets. All the Royals tickets are digital through the MLB app. The game was the Debut of Bobby Witt Jr. Who is a hot rookie. And the only way to get a ticket was to have one printed by the box office. And then very difficult you have to convince box office that there is no way for you to use the digital app. So I would guess less than 500 hard tickets for this game. Maybe less. If Witt has a monster year the tickets might...might do well.

50K physical tickets do not exist. If you have been to an MLB game in the past 5 years you know it is next to impossible to get a hard ticket to a game.

OT, but still a Crosby 500th goal ticket:

The logic is nonexistent. I also cannot see where you see me stating this is not an investment. I just think it’s an exceedingly poor one.

As the OP stated, we have exceeded the cost of the game itself. A game that occurred 12 hours ago.

Yes, the ticket holder went through the additional effort of asking the box office for physical tickets. Yes, that extra 20 minutes of work got them not just their money back, but additional cash to reimburse their beer tab for the day. Yes, for an average mid season game I bet the estimated print runs may be in the hundreds. For this game the chance of this one ticket holder figuring out this is highly unlikely. I would think the BO likely had thousands of requests for printed tickets specifically for this…so a few hundred? Not unless the box office confirms that will I believe it.

The only explanation for paying 500 bucks for 12 hour old ticket stubs on a prospects first game is investment. A very, very, very risky one. I personally would have a better time justifying using my 500 on a betting app and I am confident that it would be the same or better of an “investment”.

My opinion only.

So this is more of a discussion of modern vs vintage discussion as there are plenty of people that pay big money for hyped prospect cards for the chance to hit bigger. That is not my thing, but it certainly has a huge market.
