I wanted to start a collection with real historical significance, and I decided on presidential inauguration ticket stubs. I’m not sure exactly how far back inauguration tickets exist—I’ve never seen anything earlier than Lincoln, so targeting Lincoln to present.. Since McKinley, I’m only missing one. The 1921 Warren Harding tickets seem especially rare; I haven’t seen one come up for sale yet. Since Gerald Ford never had an inauguration, I’m using a national convention ticket to represent him. One thing that bothers me is how PSA slabbed a few of the tickets in different directions, but I’ll eventually have that corrected. Most tickets from the 1900s to today are relatively affordable, but the ones from the 1800s can start to get expensive.
