Be patient, my friend...

Under $1500 is more in the normal range, from my personal experience.
FYI, I sold a duplicate stub that I had in my collection in NMT condition to another collector for $1200 within the last 2-3 years.

My 2 cents:
A lot of people list things on eBay for crazy prices that will never be realized, making it more of a museum than the online active auction site that started the whole thing...

Looks like you're right. I saw another one that sold for over 3k, and then that one that I posted...but looking at 3 past auctions in the last 4 years I see that they went for anywhere from 1200 - 1800, which is actually not too bad. Maybe back in my sights after all. LOL I don't know about you Scott, but I have noticed a recent trend in some "famous" tickets to have the lowest prices I've seen in a long time. I'm thinking that some of baseball's famous or infamous events are not as appreciated by the younger collectors. Either that or maybe the ticket prices are coming back to earth when not sold for several years.

I'm curious as to the answer to the trivia question. Maybe Pete was going to wait to get the hit until he could place a bet on which pitcher? LOL
I do know an interesting fact is that the man in went past for most National League hits (San Musial) had exactly the same number of hits at home as he did on the road. Talk about consistency.

Mike,
It actually depends...
As I stated recently in another thread, more collectors are focused on collecting tickets. On Facebook there is a ticket collector group of younger collectors that not only are very active, but they seem to pay crazy amounts for modern tickets.

FWIW, I still subscribe to the supply & demand dictate value theory when it comes to intrinsic collectibles. Some prices are down with the pandemic, but others seem to continue to ratchet up. As you know, I collect no-hitter tickets.
Overall, tickets to older scarcer no-hit tickets continue to absolutely escalate in value.

For whatever the reason, and I'm not complaining, I've noticed that the tickets that I have an interest in are coming down. Now, maybe it's that the owners have had an unrealistic price on them for too long, and now outside forces are forcing them to come down. Whatever the reason, it's good to get some of these tickets back in to the hands of different collectors that can appreciate them.
