Is it worth anything ?

[Magnum27]

Not sure this is the correct place to ask this, i'm sure the moderators will place in the right forum.

After the win by Priddis in the Brownlow last night my wife and i are not sure if we have something of value. My wife placed a small bet on Priddis about 5 weeks ago on fixed odds- she had 5 each way on him, she's not a big gambler.

Now yesterday morning we were flying back from Perth after spending the weekend there with family and friends, and who should be on our flight, none other than the now 2014 Brownlow winner Matt Priddis. My wife decided to get Matt to sign the betting slip, which he duly did.

Now the problem we have is, will the ticket be worth something one day, and our concern is that if we decide to collect will TAB keep the ticket, then we lose the chance to have something of valuable possibly ?

Would it be worth keeping and not collecting on it,bearing in mind we will only collect $85 for the win, if the TAB won't let us keep it after collecting.

TAB wont keep the ticket if you ask to hold onto it. If it is tab, just scan it on one of their machines and cash in the voucher. Either way you can keep it.

And no, the ticket wont be worth anything in the future

I suspect it's worth ~$85, but may be worth more to you/your wife for sentimental reasons.

Pretty sure your $85 is worth $85 or if Hockey gets his way about 13 US cents

That looks like the kind of thing you would put in a frame with a signed Eagles jumper and mock brownlow medal.

There will be someone who would buy it.

Scan the ticket and collect the $85 on a voucher.

Thanks, someone else mentioned that, something i should have though of since i'm a punter.

I'll call it a blonde moment

Without authentication, its really just some scribble on a TAB ticket. If you can authenticate it, then that kind of stuff does go up in value eventually, but it's not exactly a gold mine.

Always a bit tacky when you lean on a players good will to get an autograph and then start to think about how much it may be worth with a view of on selling it. Such behaviour kills all the good will players have. Keep it as a memento, that's what you got it for and that's the reason Priddis signed it.

The reason it was signed is because we didn't really think he was a chance to be honest.

So you had a good collect then and you have a really nice memento to keep. Win win for you then

first thing you need to do is copy it without ruining it. I imagine it is printed on thermal paper like most TAB tickets these days. Therefore, over time, it WILL fade and then become just a piece of paper with a scribble on it. However I understand that a scanner and/or photocopier MAY also cause fading, depending on how hot it is so be careful. Do a test first with a worthless ticket - there are heaps on the floor of most TABs (and in my wallet from time to time!)

DO NOT LAMINATE IT!! the heat fades the whole thing instantly.

Then after all that you may have something worth +/- $10.00!!!

 

[Impunity!]

Trade it for dipping sauce!

 

[Bluelegs]

It won't be worth anything. Might be good for the punting games they do on SEN on friday nights.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Memorabilia is rarely worth much money.

Chuck it in a frame or something though, pretty cool and different piece for the pool room.

 

[calaisking]

Get a big photo of Priddis holding the Charlie, frame it, stick the betting slip in there and it may be worth something in the future.

Well it's not worth a thread on the main board that's for sure.
