Thanks Dewey and Mike!
Good question. I now have tickets to 206 different no-hit games dating back to 1901. 296 no-hitter games have been pitched through 2017. 147 of my no-hit tickets are signed by 153 different pitchers as some no-hitters were combo no-hitters that involved more than one pitcher. 33 of the 206 no-hit tickets were to games pitched by HOF pitchers... Here's one guy that has pitched two no-hitters so far. Congrats on your World Series win with the Astros JV... Last edited by Scott Garner; 11-13-2017 at 03:59 AM. |

There is no doubt that teams no-longer printing tickets is going to make collecting my theme extremely challenging moving forward. It's really sad because it eventually will lead to the death of collecting a theme like this. When this happens I've come to the conclusion that I will have to focus my collecting to only vintage tickets. Re; your question, each scenario has its own unique set of challenges. In the good old days, fans didn't frequently save their tickets because they were often viewed as yesterday's trash and were tossed. To add to this, WWII saw paper items of all types disappear due to the war effort. Finding vintage tickets is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack (as I know you're aware of) since you collect Koufax tickets. For this reason I believe that vintage tickets will always have value because of limited supply and increasing demand. The amount of baseball ticket collectors in the hobby has increased dramatically since 1998 and vintage tickets, like other memorabilia, still rules the roost IMHO. Modern cardboard season tickets are infrequently actually being used by many seat holders due to e-tickets, leading to a prevalence of perfect mint tickets that are not torn like their earlier predecessors. This makes for easier collecting, but reduced potential for ever becoming a collectable that increases in value. Even though this may be a crazy analogy, I actually see collecting vintage tickets to be a bit like collecting antique milk bottles. Eventually neither may exist, but there will still be collectors because of the novelty of them being reminiscent of a bygone era... Last edited by Scott Garner; 11-18-2017 at 11:23 AM. |

I asked my wife, "Who holds onto hotel soap from 70 years ago?" Her answer was "hoarders."
The Giants owned this place and conducted Spring Training there in the 40s and 50s.

We are all pathetic hoarders to some degree.

I guess the same people who hold onto complimentary items from the Giants' next hotel and Spring Training site (1960s). The white "rain bonnet" is my latest pickup. I also have all kinds of paper ephemera from this place.

Bf3
Just picked up a type 8 bf3 of Monty Stratton. Never seen before or even knew that it existed. For me it was a great find.These are so rare, they are not even listed in the Standard Catalog.
