How Much Are No-Hitter and Perfect Game Ticket Stubs Worth?

The Rarest Moments in Baseball History

No-hitters and perfect games represent the absolute pinnacle of pitching achievement. In over 150 years of professional baseball, only about 320 no-hitters and just 24 perfect games have been thrown. The ticket stubs from these games are among the most collectible items in baseball memorabilia, prized for their connection to truly rare athletic achievement.

Perfect Game Stubs: The Holy Grail

With only 24 perfect games in MLB history, stubs from these games are extraordinarily rare. Consider that each perfect game was witnessed by a single stadium of fans on a single day, and most of those fans didn't preserve their stubs. Fifty or even thirty years later, the number of surviving stubs from any given perfect game could be measured in the dozens.

Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series — the only no-hitter and perfect game in World Series history — produces the most valuable stubs in this category. It combines a perfect game with a World Series and the Yankees-Dodgers rivalry, making it a triple threat of collectibility.

More recent perfect games still produce valuable stubs. The fact that there have been no perfect games since requires collectors to look backward for these pieces, and every year that passes makes surviving stubs scarcer.

No-Hitter Stubs by Notable Pitchers

No-hitter stubs are more common than perfect game stubs but still highly collectible. Nolan Ryan's seven no-hitters produced perhaps the most widely collected set of no-hitter stubs. Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters, including his perfect game in 1965, are perennial favorites. Modern no-hitter stubs from active or recently retired stars also carry value.

Combined no-hitters (thrown by multiple pitchers in a single game) produce interesting collectible stubs that document unique team achievements rather than individual brilliance.

Valuation Factors

The value of a no-hitter or perfect game stub depends on the pitcher's fame, the era, the game context, and condition. A perfect game stub from the 1950s by a Hall of Fame pitcher could be worth thousands. A no-hitter stub from a lesser-known pitcher in the 2000s might be worth $50-$200. The key is that all no-hitter and perfect game stubs have collector interest — the question is degree.
