Got it. Then to answer the op the future of ticket collectors is relegated to the past. It’s now a dead collectible since they aren’t made.
A few years ago my employee went to the Jeter 3000 Hit game. He had a paper print out to get in. I know tickets exist for that but he didn’t get one and he was very upset about it. Tickets will be something we can tell our grandkids about.

Great question. Tickets are, unfortunately, going the way of _________ (fill in the blank) They will become obsolete. I can see a future time when events will manufacture scarcity by offering a limited number of paper tickets for an event, in order to drum up desire and these will sell for a premium.
In answering your question, a hobby friend once said to me "There is an ass for every seat." I don't know if it will thrive, but I do believe it will exist. It may just be fewer asses to fill those seats.

Signatures, handwritten letters, and endless paper ephemera have long been saved, cherished and collected from revered individuals of the past, as a tangible record of history and culture as well as their existence. What now? Will it get to the point where all that is left is to show someone a computer screen, and state "so and so once typed this into a keyboard"?? The future is depressing and bleak.

In regards to rare and vintage tickets i've noticed some high profile tickets in mid to low grade PSA selling for less in the past few years. For awhile there in 2013-2014 tickets seemed to get more attention. I havent heard much since.

I may be in the minority, but I personally believe that truly rare vintage tickets to historic games will continue to be sought out by the dedicated collector.
I will also go out on a limb and state that I believe that valuation will continue to go up if supply is limited, just like anything else that's collectible. Many of you may know that I am not a fan of PSA and slabbing tickets. PSA seems to slab virtually anything for $$. Case in point, they authenticate season passes and call them "tickets" to historic games. A more concerning question that I believe is direct to the point is will the younger generation care about collectibles in the same way that we do? I don't believe so, because times have changed with electronic gadgets like smartphones and videogames, for what it's worth. Last edited by Scott Garner; 04-04-2019 at 06:42 PM.

Yes, it's pretty depressing.
On a related note, I wonder how the future generations will view art? Will paintings and sculptures go by the wayside as well? Graffiti is now considered an art form, so I guess Rembrandt, Van Gogh and even Kreindler (some day) will be turning in their graves!
