Tickets & passes from an event are scarce and not like cards mass produced in the millions. Collecting tickets is a persons connection to a event, something tangible after the event is a memory. Tickets are usually more valuable than a program which can be for a series of dates. Tickets are limited to seats allowed and paid attendance. A ticket with historical content and eye appeal is a valuable item. Tickets can be displayed with photographs, autographs and text. Many collectors get tickets signed. Collectors want tickets that represent a theme: a historical event, a team, a record breaking game, a players first or last game, All-Star or post season tickets. PSA/DNA is the top grading company for tickets. A PSA/DNA certified ticket adds value and protection to tickets.
