I don't think it's the type of thing you buy for actual value, so much as the novelty / keepsake value of the thing. That being said, I don't throw away $950+ dollars on novelty, and I cannot see an investment of $1,000.00 now ever outstripping inflation on the value of a baseball ticket, so I'm not in the market for this. I will be curious to find out when / if the timeless ticket ever gets redeemed for real tickets, if only for schadenfreude (even while realizing the buyer has more than enough money to write-off the loss, so the joke is really on the people talking about it).
