Ticket Stub Lunacy

[mcgwirecom]

The thing to remember about tickets is that if everyone saved the ticket and nothing much happened in the game its probably not worth much. This happens mostly in World Series tickets. As mentioned earlier a game 1 1986 Series ticket doesn't usually bring much. But a game 6 is a different story! But even a game 6 doesn't compare to a June 4th, 1986 Braves ticket.

People who go to a World Series tend to save that ticket as opposed to a regular game where you think nothing happened. That June 4th game in Atlanta probably seemed pretty pedestrian to most fans and they didn't bother to save their stubs. Some rookie hit his first homerun. Now years later a lot of people are looking for that one and can't find it. A lot also want game 6 but the supply is pretty good on those.

Good points and perspective...I admit it, I googled to see who that rookie was...Bonds .

71Buc-If you have any 1971 Pirate regular season game stubs (home or away games) please let me know what have!

I have a ticket stub from 5/19/1971 Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Roberto Clemente 3 Runs, 3 RBIs and 4 Hits (#2745 - #2748) including a Inside-the-park Home Run (Career HR #220) and a triple.

I also have several other Clemente HRs/Hits and other Pirates tickets (also Musial/Aaron/DiMaggio...).

Looking for 3000 hit/strike out, 300 Win, 500 HR, perfect game and pre-WWII stubs.

If the winner of these two stubs is a member here please contact me. I am ready to sell my 1971 regular season Pirate stubs. I have 57 of them and now that they are selling for $100 a piece I'm ready to cash them in. I fear that in my quest to collect all regular season games for the 1971 Bucs I may have artificially inflated their value. When I started two years ago I paid less for an unused 1971 opening day Buc ticket than these two stubs sold for. I needed one of them and thought I would splurge and make a $50 offer after it failed to reach the $99 opening bid. I was even uncomfortable offering $50. M**E if you are here you are either very very wealthy or much crazier than I am for 1971 Pirates. If you don't need my stubs at this time please let me know when you are done with your own stub chase so I may resume my own.
