There is a large community of collectors that collect tickets stubs of baseball games when a noted player hits a Home Runs. 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. A collector might collect tickets of games when Rickey Henderson Stole Bases, or Cal Ripken Jr. record setting games played in a row. Tickets such as this are very desirable, and will bring top dollar if a collector needs this ticket to complete their set.
In the case of Mickey Mantle for example; a ticket from a game that he hit a home run in might sell for $75. if the home run is a milestone home run such as 1,100, 200, 500, 536 the ticket will be in more demand and more valuable. Games that Cal Ripken jr. played in during his consecutive games played streak will have a value. Milestone games such as 1000, 2000 will sell higher, and the record tying, record breaking, streak ending games will sell even higher.
Check the box score from the game that the ticket is from to see if a noted player achieved a statistical milestone. Even a win or a hit from a record breaking ballplayer could be of some value to a collector. You could find box scores of games at baseball-almanac.com. I will leave a link below.
