A 1956 World Series ticket from game 5 Don Larsen's perfect game is worth about $400.-$1,000. I have seen them sell as high as $2,000. A full ticket could sell for about $6,000. (very rare)
Condition is important. The slightest flaws could bring the price down significantly. Common flaws include; rips, creases, stains, and fading. Ticket stubs that are not ripped cleanly will also sell for less. Writing is a common flaw for historic games taking note of the special event of that game. Even if the ticket is signed by Yogi Berra or and Don Larsen it could bring the value down. To the ticket collector it would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the ticket. The autograph collector might not want to spend an extra $400. or so for signatures that are only worth about $200. The Ticket would be more valuable unsigned, and not written on. The value of the ticket will vary depending on how well the ticket displays, if the ticket has the writing on the front or back, and how much writing is on it. The more it distracts from the display of the ticket the lower the value. Some collectors will not even think of buying a ticket with such flaws regardless of price. Others might buy it to save some money, but will not pay anywhere near the full value. The ticket will be valued accordingly. Do not try to remove the writing as you might ruin the ticket further, and lower the value even more.
