Ticket Stub Grading: How Condition Affects Value

Understanding Ticket Stub Condition

Condition grading for ticket stubs follows principles similar to other paper collectibles. Key factors include printing clarity (is the text legible?), paper integrity (tears, creases, stains), completeness (full ticket vs torn stub), and overall presentation. Professional grading services like PSA use numerical scales, but most dealers evaluate stubs on a simple scale: poor, fair, good, very good, excellent, and near mint. Understanding these grades helps you set realistic expectations when selling. StubHaul evaluates stubs in all conditions and provides transparent assessments.
