How it works
Most Sellers are done in a week. Find out what your collection is worth in as little as 10-minutes.
Step One
Send photos
Use the form on this page. A phone photo on the kitchen table is fine.
Step Two
I make an offer
We research each ticket individually, especially those with unusual values, to ensure everyone is paid fairly.
Step Three
You decide
Say yes or no. No obligation either way; if it's a no, that's the end of it.
Step Four
Get paid
Then ship. I send a prepaid, insured label and packing instructions.
Paid your way

Dave
I've been collecting since I was nine.
I have always been fascinated by collecting tickets. I've saved every ticket from every game and concert I've ever attended, which led to a passion for this fascinating hobby. I started collecting Super Bowl tickets, World Series tickets, and no-hitter tickets, and my collection just sort of expanded from there.
"My goal and mission as a ticket historian is to save as many of these ticket stubs as possible."
What stubs like yours have sold for
Real offers I've made in the last year. Condition, rarity and the event itself all move the number, so treat this as a rough guide rather than a price list.
$1,850
1974 Ali-Foreman, Kinshasa
Full ticket, light creasing
$250
1964 Beatles stub from their first tour
Stub only, good color
$275
1985 Browns vs Broncos
Torn stub, writing on back
Common stubs are worth anywhere from a few dollars each to forty, but it depends on their age and condition. The best way to find out what yours are worth is to complete the contact form or book a free appraisal call.

We are ticket historians
Between us we hold a collection of more than 300,000 stubs sports, concerts and pop culture with the earliest dating back to 1908. Every one of them was somebody's evening out before it was a collectible.
That's why we can tell you what yours is worth, and why we'd rather buy the box than see it thrown away.

Why you can hand these to a stranger
You've had these stubs for forty years. It's fair to want to know who's on the other end of the screen before you mail them anywhere.
So here's everything, in plain terms.

You're paid before you ship
Choose PayPal or Venmo and the money is in your account before a single stub leaves your house.
Your tickets are researched
To ensure that we're able to find historically important tickets and make sure you're rewarded for those.
Shipping is on me, both ways
Prepaid, insured labels. If anything isn't as expected, the stubs go straight back at my cost.
Nothing is binding
An offer is a number, not a contract. Turn it down and your photos are deleted.
Get your free offer
Fill in the boxes, add your photos, and I'll come back to you with a number. Nothing about it commits you to selling.
What happens after you hit send
No surprises and no phone calls you didn’t ask for. Here’s the whole thing, start to finish, and you can stop at any point along the way.
Right away
I confirm I have it
You get a short note saying your photos arrived and roughly when to expect the offer. Usually the same day.
A day or two
The offer arrives
You're going to receive a confirmation that we've received your photographs. Your collection will be reviewed by a ticket expert, and an offer will be sent.
Whenever suits you
You decide
Take a day, take a month, talk it over with family. There is no expiry date and I will not chase you.
After you accept
Paid, then posted
PayPal and Venmo sellers are paid first. I send a printable label, or extra to cover postage if you would rather use your own.
Say no at any step and that is the end of it. Your photos are deleted and you will not hear from me again.
Questions people ask me
How do I know this isn't a scam?
Fair question, and you should ask it. Choose PayPal or Venmo and you are paid before you ship anything. Every offer shows the recent sale prices behind it, my Google reviews are public, and if you decline, your photos are deleted.
What if I don't like the offer?
Then say no. Nothing happens, nothing is owed, and I won't keep coming back to you about it.
How do I get paid?
PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or a paper check, whichever you prefer. PayPal and Venmo are paid before shipping. Zelle and check go out the same day your stubs arrive.
Mine are torn and faded. Are they still worth anything?
Often yes. Condition matters, but a torn stub from a famous game beats a perfect one from an ordinary night. Send the photo and let me look.
How should I ship them?
I email a prepaid, insured label and one page of instructions. Stubs go between two pieces of cardboard in a rigid envelope. Nothing complicated.
What happens to my stubs after I sell them?
Some go into my own collection, some go to collectors looking for that exact game or show. Either way they get sleeved, catalogued and kept.
