How can you find the value of an unused ticket to a professional baseball game?

Answer 1

Vintage Baseball regular season tickets for all teams from different eras in general are valued as follows: 1900-1920 $100.-$350.

1920-1960 $25.-$75.

1960- 1990 $5.-$20.

1991 to present $3.-$5 Condition is important. Rips, crease, stains and fading could bring the price down significantly. With ticket stubs if the stub was not torn cleanly it will effect the price as will if the stub was stapled to a program (holes) which is a common practice.

Ticket stubs from baseball games that feature special events or player milestones are highly sought after by collectors. Special events such as opening day, inaugural games, last game at a Stadium, play-offs, World Series, etc. Player milestones can include 500 home runs, 300 win, or any record breaking event.

There is a large community of collectors that collect tickets stubs of baseball games when a noted player hits a Home Run. Record breaking Players such as Mantle, Mays Aaron, and now players like Alex Rodriguez who have a shot at hitting 500, 600 home runs or more. Tickets/stubs from these games are very desirable, and will bring top dollar if a collector needs this ticket to complete their set.

Try to find the box score of the game played on the date your ticket stub is from. Look for a player milestone for a noted player on both teams.For example: Mickey Mantle hit 536 career home runs. A ticket stub from the game he hit his 182nd HR sold for $75 on eBay. For more information on vintage baseball ticket stubs visit the link I left below.
