niche is definitely the key word there. A good way to look at something like that, value wise (if you don't collect that specific item) -- is try to imagine WHO would actually want it. Wouldn't look great framed. And unless it was your favorite band, and a legendary concert (Altmant, last Doors concert in New Orleans, Beatles at Shea, etc) -- probably not a lot of value to most people.

Hi Josh, here is one of the ones I sold. Very few of these.

Hi Josh,
I enjoy your blog posts but respectfully disagree.
"...probably not a lot of value to most people..."
That keeps prices down.
Like this? I don't say I know all Mauretania collectors, but a lot know me from my book research, illustrations and collection, and so far no one has another. It is not attractive (to most), not of great value (to most) and went unrecognized. It is rarity, context, vantage and knowledge. It was a general lack of knowledge of those qualities that allowed Henry Gurdon Marquand to knowingly purchase Woman with a Water Jug by Vermeer right in Paris for $800 in 1887 as a "Dutch Golden Age piece." It was likely worth over $10,000 if properly recognized in 1887 in Paris, as it was by Marquand, and 2 years later the MET when donated as the first Vermeer in the country. Today it seems impossible to miss. Marquand had a different vantage IMO.
Some collectors have offered $70 max for this bolt. Others have offered much more than 5 times that.
It is not for sale at any price. To quote the late great dealer Kenny Schultz, "show me another."

PS - For anyone interested, I wrote this (working draft below) with researcher and author Rob Kamps of the Netherlands (20 years ago now) for the Titanic Historical Society but ultimately refused to let them published it and decided to give it to author and friend David Hutchings for incorporation in the two books about this ship I worked on with him. The whole 25,000 word MS was stolen and published with a nice section mentioning me as if I had died. As it was unclear what had exactly happened, I did not pursue this. When I saw it on Amazon I was tempted to buy a copy and leave the entire text as a review, but opted not to. I do have the whole thing on disc somewhere. I picked this item as an example as it too was cut in half, like the ticket stub.
Yes, fully aware my deck bolt is not a Vermeer. There were over a hundred of thousands of these deck bolts - now?

That way of looking at it may have been true 20 years ago, but the market for vintage paper memorabilia has exploded since then and it’s still expanding. It’s not about owning the odd showboat item you can stick in a frame and boast about to your buddies in your man cave. I wouldn’t dream of framing anything like this anyway. It’s about having a tangible link to the past, and more and more people these days are appreciating the history and the mojo in vintage tickets.
Of course, when you get to the top end of the market, the number of collectors who are prepared to put their money where their mouth is trails away. You can say that about pretty much every area of collecting. Most people are tightwads.
