I have kind of been to the mountain top with cards (a 524 t06 set, complete 1914 CJ, E107, D304, T3 sets, etc), tons of Wagners, Cobbs, Ruth’s, Planks, Matty, Young, etc. I am still a collector but I owned examples of almost every card I find interesting in auction houses and I don’t want to require what I have already owned, especially at today’s prices. But I want to still collect iconic and important historic items - I can do that with tickets and they are new to me and exciting.

2. I see a lot of upside in tickets (value). I am an investor who collects, and I see tickets as being very investible, especially compared to cards which are very highly priced right now. So I am collecting tickets!

I agree Ryan. I went all in on tickets a couple of years ago after climbing some other collecting mountains and I have been having a blast collecting tickets. Many tickets are cool, iconic and historic and in very limited supply. There are some great passionate collectors in this genre that you will enjoy getting to know. I am happy to help anytime. It’s terrific to have an impressive collector like you enter this exciting space. Enjoy your new journey!

Thanks for kind words and the offer- I will take you up on it.

Jamie, that painting (with the tickets) is incredible. Of course it is a discussion starter!
