Send Photos for a Cash OfferWhat makes a Mets ticket worth researching?
Mets tickets document a franchise across three New York ballparks. Early Polo Grounds material, Shea Stadium memories, and modern Citi Field milestones each attract somewhat different collectors.
The strongest story may be a championship, a pitcher’s achievement, a memorable player, or the venue itself. Accurate dates and clear photographs let us distinguish a notable event from a common regular-season game.
We do not value tickets from a team name alone. We research the event and consider what collectors are currently likely to buy.
Types of Mets tickets collectors may seek
These are research categories, not a guarantee that every ticket in the category has significant value.
1969 and 1986 championship eras
Postseason tickets and regular-season games tied to defining moments are assessed individually, not assigned one blanket value.
Shea Stadium history
Openers, closers, special events, and key games at Shea can appeal beyond the specific player or opponent.
Player and pitching milestones
Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, and other major Mets careers—as well as no-hitters, debuts, and record dates—create event-specific interest.
Before you send photos
- ✓Show the venue name or logo when present; Mets designs can immediately narrow the era.
- ✓Include the exact date, opponent, section, and price in your message.
- ✓Photograph any attached parking pass, season-ticket cover, or postseason strip separately.
- ✓Tell us if the ticket came from an original season-ticket holder; useful provenance should be factual and documentable.

Do you buy tickets from the Mets’ Polo Grounds seasons?
Yes, depending on authenticity, game, format, condition, and demand. Clear front-and-back photos are important for early material.
Are 1969 or 1986 Mets tickets always valuable?
No. Championship-season interest helps, but postseason status, the exact game, scarcity, completeness, and condition create large differences.
What about final-season Shea Stadium tickets?
We consider them individually and in groups. The specific game, ticket design, condition, and collector demand affect the offer.
