Just wondering how many 3k Strikeout Ticket collectors are out there and if anyone can add to what I have below about this collection.
I recently picked up one of the 1982-05-25 - Fergie Jenkins 3000 Strikeout tickets. The previous owner tells me he had 4 full tickets. I was surprised to see one of them sell for only $110 on ebay, since I am unaware of any others being out there. I am also surprised that there is not more interest in the 3000 Strikeout set, since it is an achievable collection (with the exception of Walter Johnson) and some really great players in the list.
I am using PSA's weighting as simply a reference. I know these weights were given a long time ago, but should be updated/adjusted to reflect the true difficulty of finding each. (

1923-07-22 -
Walter Johnson (Weight = 10): Ok, I accept this. Hopefully one will eventually show up.
1974-07-17 -
Bob Gibson (7): I have seen at least a 1/2 dozen stubs, no fulls. So I can accept a 7. Also, surprised none have been graded.
1978-10-01 -
Gaylord Perry (3): I know there are a bunch of low grade stubs and 2 graded (4, 1.5). There is also a Full - Punch/Canceled - Autographed. My guess the total number is 10 to 20 out there, so a weight of 3????? If you are the one with the full, can you post it?
1980-07-04 -
Nolan Ryan (6): I myself have had 6 of these stubs, but have never heard of a full. 8 have been graded, with 2 being graded as a 5. My guess, probably 20 to 25 exist.
1981-04-18 -
Tom Seaver (4): I have seen several low grade tickets (maybe 8), with the highest graded being a grade of 2.
1981-04-29 -
Steve Carlton (2): I have seen several stubs, 5 of which are graded. I have 3 of the 4 graded full tickets. Not the hardest ticket, but a weight of 2?
1982-05-25 -
Fergie Jenkins (3): 4 Full recently became available, I am not aware of any others, so a weight of 3?
1983-06-24 -
Don Sutton (3): The only 2 I know of, are the 2 I have, so again a weight of 3?
1984-07-04 -
Phil Niekro (3): There are 2 graded, one full and one stub. I have seen a couple others out there, but again a weight of 3?
1986-08-01 -
Bert Blyleven (2): There are 3 graded, yet a weight of 2.
1998-07-05 -
Roger Clemens (3): I can find a Clemens on ebay just about anytime, but this is weighted higher than Blyleven and the same as, Perry, Jenkins, Sutton and Niekro.
If anyone has a nice Gibson, Seaver, Niekro and/or Blyleven to trade (See my tickets:
https://www.gladishsolutions.com/ticketstubs/) or sell, let me know.
