I completely agree. Real tangible history. But on the other hand, a 52 Mantle has an aesthetic appeal that an important Mantle ticket stub will never have. Most ticket stubs, with rare exception like Super Bowl tickets, aren't much to look at. They have a wow factor based on their direct connection to an event, not based on visual appearance like cards and Type 1 photos. I think that's a major factor keeping a ceiling on value.

Obviously, I wish held onto them.

Fast forward to maybe 2019-2020, I got the bug again (thanks mostly to my friend Tom D), and focused on rookie season stubs (Mantle, Jackie), and historic moments (Gibson HR, Buckner Ball, Super Bowl 1, etc). I keep my eye open for debuts, rookie season stubs and historic moments.

And to answer your question, I don't see ticket prices relaxing at all really, I see them only going up. They're a fantastic way to have a tangible piece of history, that was "in the park" that day.
