Re: Ticket stub collectors???
Where is a good place to look for ordinary ticket stubs? I'd like to start buying those from games Jonny Gomes had home runs in (along with those from a couple other significant games), but it's not as if that's a major selling point for people listing tickets.

Re: Ticket stub collectors???
Hey Everyone,
I'm a big ticket stub collector. You can check out my collection here:
http://s834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/wiggi034/
I collect unused All Star, World Series clincher, and milestone game tickets. I like to get most of my tickets signed by the games' MVPs or the player who performed the milestone.
I started my collection after I attended Eric Milton's no hitter in 1999. I get most of my tickets on eBay. I have dealt with Dennis Jose at Chicago tix. He's a nice guy, though, his prices are really high. He paid me good value for a few of my tickets, but I get the sense that he doesn't pay much for lower end stuff.
I would recommend Al at www.gradedtickets.com. He has a nice website and some tough tickets. Don't be scared off by the high prices. He doesn't charge any more than Chicago tix and he has a much better stock. Also, you can email him if you're looking for tickets not on his website as he has a good deal of ungraded stuff at reasonable, though not super cheap, prices.
If you're looking to buy on eBay, search the Ticket Stubs sub category of Vintage Sport Memorabilia.
For those of you starting collections, I would recommend paying the premium for unused tickets and to avoid spending to much on contemporary tickets (i.e. tickets that were made after scanners).
If any of you see stubs in my collection you would like to trade for or have stubs for trade that you think might fit into my collection, feel free to email me at wiggi034 at umn.edu.
Hope this helps a few of you.

Re: Ticket stub collectors???
Really when you think about stubs at the the outset, you'd think they should be very easy to find: 15,000 to 50,000 people in a stadium for that game.
However, when you break it down to say a random 10 person grouping, how may would actually be kept?
* perhaps 1-2 out of 10 would keep them as a keepsake, but normally only if they only go to a few games per year or it's their first game etc, even that figure might be high?
* that leaves lets say 8 stubs that the remaining people have, I'd say at least half of those just get dropped or folded/stuffed into a pocket or thrown away while at the game
* that leaves us with 4 stubs that may be in decent shape that would somehow make it out into the market, if the average person thought they might be wanted by anyone..... really though more than likely it would be about 1-2 of those four, as the others would be forgotten about
* so basically there may be 10-20% that survive and would become available at some point
What do you guys think? Maybe I'm overestimating how many actually would survive...... maybe less that 10%??

Re: Ticket stub collectors???
Is this considered a full ticket?

Re: Ticket stub collectors???
I'd email this seller. He has many rays tickets so he is a season ticket holder or knows one. Ask him if he has tickets for whatever dates you want.
