Re: The Emergence of Ticket Collecting
----> carbonrosa.
You want to have some fun?
I have about 150 lbs or so, of Yankees tickets (stubs and full season booklets) -- from early 90's to the present. They are in boxes in the basement.
Want to sort through them?

Re: The Emergence of Ticket Collecting
i am in NYC.
And I dont think a day would be enough --- unless you already have the game dates you are looking for.
If not, it is going to be an entire day just looking through baseball-reference.com
I used to have spread sheets set up for some of them, and then things just got out of hands. Now, I only kept the major milestones - some I had signed, some I had graded and the rest, just sit in boxes.
I know a got a couple GEM 10 for DJ3K.

Re: The Emergence of Ticket Collecting
I grew up an Expos fan... So at one point I obtained a set of tickets to every lost game from the 1994 season. Definitely not game used.
I also have tickets from...
Nolan Ryan vs Ventura fight
Game 5 1985 nlcs (Ozzie hr, go crazy folks)
Game 6 2011 World Series (greatest game ever played)
Hank Aaron 715
Tony Gwynn 3000
Jackie Robinson's final UCLA football game
Don Larsens perfect game
Etc... Mostly random moments that interest me
I can't compared tickets to game used. There are just so many tickets issued to every game (historically, prior to online tickets and smartphones). People have collected tickets, seemingly since their creation. For any event, known to be significant at the time, tickets are pretty easily found. From an availability stand point, I'd say they are closer to baseball cards and other printed collectibles. I've started to collect a game used baseball from each game I attend (purchased from the team store) I guess that's similar to keeping a ticket to remember the day.

Re: The Emergence of Ticket Collecting
This is an interesting topic indeed. Never thought about tickets as "game used". I just got my first ticket in today and I must say, they are quite cool pieces to collect. Here's my only addition to this thread.
1964 World Series Game 6 ticket. Both Mantle and Maris homered. It was Mantle's 17th of his postseason career (second to last) and Maris' 5th of his postseason career (also his second to last)

Re: The Emergence of Ticket Collecting
Doug, as per my previous post, I think we are in the same place regarding opinions about the genre of memorabilia tickets would fit in.
You also bring up an interesting point that I believe was touched on previously in this thread that there may be less tickets in the future given the advent of electronic mediums.
Nice collection of tickets by the way!
Very, very cool!
