Two vintage tickets made history via Heritage Auctions on Sunday.
A ticket stub from Jackie Robinson’s debut with the Dodgers in 1947 and an unused full ticket for Michael Jordan’s debut with the Bulls in 1984 both set the record for most expensive collectable sports ticket.
Chris Ivy, the director of sports auctions at Heritage Auctions said there has been an increase in interest in both unused tickets and ticket stubs from historic sporting events in recent years.
“Tickets are riding a popularity wave like we’ve seen before with vintage photography, [especially with this] ticket stub from Jackie Robinson's breaking the color barrier,” Ivy said, via ESPN’s Dan Hajducky.
