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.
