Ticket Stud or Ticket Dud? You decide ... here's Chapter 43

With these Ticket Stud or Ticket Dud stories I'm turning just a tiny bit of that energy just a few degrees away from cards (we'll still have plenty of them here) for a different kind of cardboard. What am I doing? Simple ... this is an occasional dip into some random ticket lots -- a show and tell showing something small with a story.

This time? A pair of MLB tickets from a few years ago this week.

Keep reading to see the details this time ... and tell me if you think it's a Ticket Stud or a Ticket Dud.

What's Buzz-worthy: A bunch of runs scored, a bunch of big names and an All-Star on the ticket itself, Chris Sale, but ultimately the biggest plays for this game are from guys who might be good but are not big collector names. Why did I pull this one from the mixed mystery box? Well, beyond the date -- that's yesterday in 2018 -- I liked the look here. It's sparse but it works and it has a solid Red Sox feel with perhaps some postmarked vibes but comes up short of being a Green Monster cliche like I'm sure a lot of Boston stuff can be. All in all I like it because it's not the typical look for a ticket.

Stud or Dud? There's a lot of name power here, but ultimately I think it's only a Sale kind of item at least for ink, maybe one for a collector of home run tickets or maybe one of the key names. I'll go with it being a Stud but ultimately nothing that big save for its look.
