Ticket guys - Need opinions

[hardware303]

For what it's worth, I've had this situation before with a ticket that I was considering getting slabbed by PSA and they said they wouldn't accept it in two pieces. They suggested reconnecting the two pieces using archival document repair tape (readily available on Amazon). I was curious so I did it (taped only on the reverse, as Scott mentioned earlier), and it turned out pretty nice in terms of how it displays on the front, and even the reverse wasn't too bad. I never did get it slabbed though and I probably wouldn't do this again. For me personally, this seems like a perfectly reasonable solution to get optimal display quality for tickets that have primarily personal or sentimental value. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't do it. But just FYI in case PSA is the goal.

PSA will authenticate ticket and mark "Authentic"
label will indicate "taped" do not ask for grade .
anything is better than say "Laminated" or "proof"which reduces the value about 90%

I’ve done everything mentioned with tickets worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Psa is inconsistent with how they mark tickets as well. Sometimes will call it a full, sometimes will say reinforced, sometimes reattached, sometimes refuse to holder (if they don’t think the two sides are from the same ticket). You can also slab both pieces and they will call both stubs. Many times they should call a piece an audit stub but they don’t consistently. I hate it when smaller stubs get graded and grade high, but that is a different point. If You Tape, MAKE SURE IT IS ARCHIVAL TAPE... I definitely would use archival tape to reattach an expensive full together. You would get more money out of your example by selling each as stubs...
