I've never seen a ticket stub slabbed. Weird.

I’m a serious collector of vintage concert tickets. I don’t particularly like slabbed examples, and mercifully they are relatively uncommon, at least for the artists I collect.
I do have one slabbed Dylan ticket from 1964. Not quite sure why someone bothered with this particular one, as it is the third most common Dylan ticket from the 1960s:

PSA/DNA and Becketts have been encapsulating ticket stubs for many years.

Yeah, I realize that. I just think it's silly. I mean...if somebody shows me a Led Zeppelin ticket from 1973, I'm not thinking....Hmmmm, that might be fake! But if it's slabbed, saying "Oh my god!!!! An original ticket, from the hammer of the gods, Zeppelin. I gotta have it !!!!!"
Unless it's something like a Woodstock ticket ((which I understand a number of fakes were made over the years), I don't think slabbing needs to be involved, and it's just weird.

Id rather see slabbed tickets that this sort of pastiche garbage. If you don't know the difference between "Photo" and "Cut" and you don't know there is 20 years between that photo and that signature style you could be very misled:

Does slabbing really increase the desirability of any vintage ticket? Not in my opinion. If anything, it’s a turn-off. I don’t know any other major collectors either who are impressed by that stuff. Seems to me it’s strictly for the birds.
I transfer my rarest tickets to archival polyester pockets, which is a much safer long term storage solution than plastic. I handle them infrequently, but at least the option is still available to me. And it is nice to get close up with them occasionally. Vintage tickets have a mojo; they were there when legendary performances were made. Slabbing robs them of much of their power.

Like an autograph. That Bowie ticket came slabbed - I have never entombed anything. What you said made me think of my playbills.

Absolutely. You get it.
I recently bought one of the most important Dylan tickets ever. This unsold — not just unused — complete ticket includes both the stub and the counterfoil. It belonged to Dylan’s producer, Bob Johnston, who was sent to London to supervise the recording of the RAH shows. You’ll never see another:
Would this be improved by being slabbed? No. Just no.

That is really nice! Thank you.

Cheers!
I had stiff competition, but it was only ever coming to me.
For reference, this is all you ever see from the RAH 1966 shows:

What is something like that worth if I may ask

I paid USD $1,225. That’s a lot of money, but it was worth it IMO. It’s a unique item, with superb provenance, from a legendary concert. It doesn’t get much better than this. I knew it’d go high, so I had to top whoever else was bidding.
Most Dylan tickets from the mid 1960s sell in the £200 to £300 range. There are exceptions to that rule, depending on the particular show, the rarity of the ticket, and how appealing it is to the eye. The market is really niche, but occasionally it goes off the charts when something exceptional turns up.
