I was just sort of curious if a crease in a ticket stub was considered to be as unforgivable as some find a crease in a baseball card. From what you guys are saying it sounds like a little crease in a ticket stub is not necessarily the end of the world. I was hoping that was how it worked. To me the beauty of a ticket stub is that someone bought it and went to a game and actually used it several years ago. It got torn and put in their pocket or something. It doesn't get much more authentic than that to me.

A vintage ticket stub is game used. As such, creases and other minor imperfections are part of their pedigree.
Additionally, if something cool happened in the game, occasionally the patron will notate that on the ticket in pencil or pen.
One of my personal favorite no-hitter tickets in my collection is from HOF'er Juan Marichal's no-hitter in 1963. The back of the ticket has petrified hotdog mustard on it. Definitely game used!
