The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I stumbled across an old Indy 500 racing ticket. Apparently, it was from when 1poormom was dating 1poordad. Mom wrote a little note on the ticket for the occasion, and the ticket is from 2 years before they were married. The ticket was used, but still has the "raincheck" stub attached (apparently it didn't rain on May 30, 1951).

Does anyone have knowledge about collectibles? I couldn't find any on ebay, and a general search turned up one site that wouldn't tell me how much it might be worth. If it's only a dollar or two, I'll likely just toss it. If it's $100, it would be worth pursuing. Since it was used (i.e. the primary admission stub is missing), and mom scribbled her note, I can't imagine it's worth any more than that. Probably not even that. But I'm not a collector.
