Worthpoint + Sources for Comps on Tickets

[MVSNYC]

Hi Don, I personally wouldn’t eliminate World Series games, nor Super Bowls from the discussion. In fact, some of the most desirable, rare, special, and/or valuable tickets are from famous World Series games and Super Bowls.

Quick examples that support the above- Larsen Perfect Game, Jackie Robinson Steals Home, 1919 WS, Ruth Called Shot, 1903 (first) WS, Willie Mays “Catch”, Super Bowl I, Super III, etc, etc.

Ryan, welcome to ticket collecting- a truly awesome sector of the Hobby…Re: comps, some of the top auction houses have great archive search engines with 1000’s of past examples (REA, Heritage, Leland’s, Goldin, etc)…great for market research.

I do not disagree with you on value, sentimental, desirable, etc.

I took the word "grail" to mean almost impossible to find married with the desirability.

A lot of people kept those tickets because the magnitude of the event was already known before the games even started.

No one knew Wilt was going to throw up 100 that night. The gym was small and the game was not even televised. Historical significance + small crowd = $$$$$
