"Saving Your Star Wars Stubs" Posted By Mike on August 27, 2008
See below for the beginning excerpt from "Tickets, Please: Saving Your Star Wars Stubs" by Pete Vilmur over at Starwars.com:
"While Star Wars-related tickets may not come on a blister card, have 19 points of articulation, or come with a certificate of authenticity, many collectors are beginning to discover the unique appeal of these often discarded scraps of flimsy cardstock which at face value don't seem to offer much -- a title, venue, date, time, and perhaps the price of admission. But those five bits of information are also able to connect fans emotionally to the events themselves, whether it's viewing the saga's latest chapter for the first time, touring an exhibit of costumes and props, enjoying a symphony of Star Wars music, or attending a star-studded fan convention.
Information recorded on ticket stubs also documents some historical facts about the event -- what time of year it took place, how much it cost, how long it ran, and where it happened. For fans that enjoy exploring every historical nuance of the Star Wars phenomenon, these unassuming facts can be gold.
For new collectors, tickets bearing the Star Wars title in are still extremely affordable, since their appeal has not yet been widely recognized. This untapped area of Star Wars collecting has great potential to grow, as fans begin to get nostalgic about the events that have defined their Star Wars experiences over the years. In the case of theater admission tickets, small-town single-screen venues are quickly being replaced by megaplexes, lending some added historical interest to tickets bearing the names of those classic old movie houses.
But collecting Star Wars theatrical tickets is just the beginning. Star Wars has offered all sorts of extracurricular activities throughout the past -- countless conventions, scores of concerts, theme park rides, and museum exhibits around the world. Tickets to these events make fascinating mementos for fans to take away, and can also be conveniently displayed in frames or scrapbooks."
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
