I know perfect games, no hitters, clinchers, 500 HR, but what else.

Yea, I got a lot of Jeff Kent milestone hits. I have his 300th HR; 2000th hit; game 5 walk off NLCS HR ticket 2004; last HR 377th; when he hit for the cycle vs Pittsburgh ticket- I also have some Reds 1976 WS tickets.

This ticket is from Ed Hearn's first ever major league game which was at Dodger Stadium May 17, 1986.

Certainly a players first game is a milestone always to be remembered.

Re: Question about milestone tickets

thats pretty cool. thome is now in the top 10 alltime. do you think passing or tying a player on the all time list is more important milestone?

In my opinion, if the milestone ties or surpasses a Hall of Famer, it's noteworthy and collectable. Doesn't really even matter what the milestone itself is.

Re: Question about milestone tickets

I think milestone tickets are great, attractive display pieces.

I must say, anyone with the fortitude to take on a major task like thomecollector compiling over 500 HR tix is nothing short of amazing.

Let's look at this another way. These players, Thome in this case, should be proud that a guy would take the time to amass what thomecollector has. I mean my God. The resources... The networking... My hats off to people that do this...

BTW: This guy has helped me with stuff when he isn't looking for Thome HR tix under rocks...
