What is wrong with a wildly inappropriate book as a storage device? I keep my game tickets in a copy of the Book of Mormon I swiped from a hotel in Chicago when I saw Liriano throw his no-hitter.

Fleer made some extra long cards in 1994 or 95 and you can still get top loaders for them that will fit game tickets nicely.

Photo albums work great and they fit on a shelf. From what I've read modern photo album paper won't damage things. If you want to show off your tickets, panoramic albums are good. For a nice border you can use construction paper

I got one of these as a gift this year over the holidays. Kind of narrow for the souveneir style tickets but it's been a nice holder. It sucks that so many sports teams are eliminating physical tickets. Half the Chicago teams are digital only unless you want to print them off your computer.

And even then, what's the point. I save tickets from everything but printouts just get tossed. I have my great uncle's unused ticket to the 1934 Rose Bowl, it's gorgeous. Are there even legitimate nice looking paper tickets for like, the World Series any more?

ElwoodCuse posted:And even then, what's the point. I save tickets from everything but printouts just get tossed. Yes.   I collect tickets, and the way most teams do it is beautiful tickets for season ticket holders, and emailed tickets for everyone else. The generic, Ticketmaster-style printed ticket is going away, except for retail and one-off purchases. To answer the direct question, MLB issues the same kind of generic tickets for all season ticket holders of playoff-eligible teams. The only difference in tickets is a different color scheme and team logos used, although this year's World Series tickets were kicked up some. Every team had the same pattern of inside ballpark, outside ballpark, home uniform, and trophy (for AL only, in case of Game 7).

I've had season tickets to the Chicago Bulls for like 9 years and they always mailed out a nice souvenir style ticket. I always saved them, they make a great keepsake. This year they got rid of them though and went digital only. I'm hoping they give the option next year to get them back though. It seems like they tried this with the White Sox and enough people complained that they'll let you buy the souvenir tickets for $20 if you want.

From what I can remember, every Detroit team has always had souvenir-style tickets in some way. The Red Wings put photos on the tickets for the first time in 1995-96 (70th anniversary) and has had some sort of decorative design since, for example. Among Chicago teams, the Cubs had beautiful tickets (and scorecards, and programs) for Wrigley's 100th anniversary this year, the Bears had a generic player shot, and the Blackhawks have a generic design that changes each season.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see if the other Chicago teams follow suit. Here was an article on it that talked about our local teams. Kind of made it seem like the other teams might follow suit soon. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-sports-tickets-spt-1202-20141125-story.html

This is from awhile back but they didn't meet their goal. $250k was a lot of money and I'm surprised they even pulled in the $50k. It's a cool concept although I don't know how sustainable it is. Or how much interest it would really draw. The cynical side of me thinks it was an idea for a diehard collector to get a lot of free bobbleheads in his collection. I've been collecting bobbleheads for years now and it's a fun hobby.

Holograms are awesome, we need an updated set of team logo holograms. The Tigers did a huge giveaway of Tiger Stadium hologram cards at Blockbuster Video in 1994...I still see lots of these come up around Detroit, as they apparently came out right before the season got cancelled.

Speaking of tickets, along with collecting ticket stubs for every game I go to, I also have a list in an excel spreadsheet of every single professional and collegiate sporting event I have ever attended. I started it about 15 years ago when I was in middle school (using old ticket stubs and programs, along with microfilm to piece together everything from my birth up until that point) and have kept it up to date ever since. Am I the only one who does this? It's kind of anal, but it's cool to pull it up and see that I've gone to 143 MLB games and have every one listed out with the final score. It's like instant nostalgia.

Like a Bruins game I went to I saw Zdeno Chara's 300th career point. Also the NBA finals where the Lakers (almost) had the largest comeback in NBA finals history against the Celtics, or the ALDS where Jed Lowrie hit a walk off single to win the series against the Angels.

I wouldn't even touch anything supposedly signed by Shoeless Joe unless it's a legal document. Even then it's possible his wife signed it. As that article mentions, even experts can't agree on what is or is not a real Shoeless Joe signature.

I have a few of the stubs kicking around, but the only one I make a point to keep is from a no-hitter. My typical artifact of choice is a shot glass from each of the stadiums I visit.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but: For Record Store Day this year (which was yesterday) Microfiche Records put out a game played on a multi-grooved record called RPM Turntable Baseball. The idea seems to be that when you drop the needle, the separate grooves are close enough that you're not able to tell whether you got a hit, an out, or any other result until after the announcer says so. Inside the record sleeve are even little scorecards, which is awesome. Games like this apparently used to be relatively common, but I'd never heard of such a thing and some hobbyist game designer friends and I decided we needed to have it. The "B-Side" game is a mascot race of different food products. I haven't actually gotten the chance to play it yet ("actually owning a record player" is the second part of this mission) but I thought you guys might appreciate it.

This is a high school set from '92. Some of the other pictures are incredibly derpy.  Love me some Rendon. Can't wait to see him back. /5  /66  /1

Imma get me a set of 1986 Topps. That was the first year my brother and I started spending all our spare change on baseball cards, and each pack came with one thin panel of the only bubble gum capable of scratching diamonds. Those are still the cards that I think of when someone says "Baseball cards." Now, for my stupid question: is there such a thing as just regular baseball cards anymore? Everything now seems to be some special edition or another. I remember this starting to happen back in the 90s, when brands like Score and Upper Deck popped up. (Before then, there were 3 brands: Topps, Donruss, and Fleer. And Topps was by far the most commonly available.

Don't the majority of people now just keep inserts and toss the regular cards? Like when there are box breaks, they don't usually even ship non-inserts to the people, do they?
