1969 Mets Ticket STUBS

Megalimey Quote "thanks for your fair input I know you are not a fan of slabbing especially PSA
but you at least acknowledge there may be a reason to pay a premium for a slabbed ticket if no other example is available:

I have nothing specifically against PSA. I dislike all slabbing. I did acknowledge that there might be a reason to pay a premium for a slabbed copy if no other example is available, but it has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the fact that it is slabbed. The premium is because there are no other copies available for sale, which usually drives up the price anyway.

I tried to be fair, but please stop.
The reason most high end stubs are slabbed is because the auction houses want them that way to relieve them of any responsibility, not because there is some inherent value to having them in a slab. As we have discussed a million times before, there are many many examples of high end ticket stubs that have been sold without slabbing and their prices have done quite well in comparison to slabbed versions.

The previous discussion, which included many examples, is here for those who wish to view as I do not wish to rehash this again.

That all being said, this was not his question. In essence, he was asking if slabbed tickets were worth paying a premium for. My answer was and is NO, unless your desire for it is so great you cannot wait for another to come along. There is nothing wrong with buying something slabbed, but I, personally, would never pay a premium for it because of that.
