Be patient, my friend...

Under $1500 is more in the normal range, from my personal experience.
FYI, I sold a duplicate stub that I had in my collection in NMT condition to another collector for $1200 within the last 2-3 years.

My 2 cents:
A lot of people list things on eBay for crazy prices that will never be realized, making it more of a museum than the online active auction site that started the whole thing...
Looks like you're right. I saw another one that sold for over 3k, and then that one that I posted...but looking at 3 past auctions in the last 4 years I see that they went for anywhere from 1200 - 1800, which is actually not too bad. Maybe back in my sights after all. LOL I don't know about you Scott, but I have noticed a recent trend in some "famous" tickets to have the lowest prices I've seen in a long time. I'm thinking that some of baseball's famous or infamous events are not as appreciated by the younger collectors. Either that or maybe the ticket prices are coming back to earth when not sold for several years.
