Ticket Stubs: What do you do with them?
I've been reading that collecting certain types of ticket stubs has been growing as a hobby and have personally been collecting movie & concert ticket stubs as well as boarding passes since 1997.
As I was adding my latest to my collection, I got to wondering what other people do with theirs. Throw them, collect them, neither?
What do you do with your ticket stubs?
If you're like me and collect them, have you noticed any of yours fading? Some of mine are now just slips of paper that I have written on so the information is not lost (movie name, theater name, price, date).

Well, not too long ago I bought a cork board to start putting things like ticket stubs on. I have over 200 movie ticket stubs on there, train tickets, bus tickets, and theater tickets.
The ones that don't fit go in a box.

I keep my tickets in a small box at home. I usually forget to keep movie tickets, but I probably have about 20 of them from over the years. I always remember concert tickets, sports tickets and like brochures and stuff also. I looove going through them all. When I'm at home I probably do it at least once a month.

I take them out of my pocket and put them on my dresser.
Then, when I come across them again 2 years later, I throw them away.

I have kept what I consider "valuable" ticket stubs, which mostly means it's sentimental. Otherwise, if I think it would be cool to keep it now I just scan it into my computer so I see it when the screensaver magically/amazingly brings back the past. It's a pretty cool trip through memory lane that way.

Well the url says gif, but when I download it it's a png (actually it's both: DragonAnnimation2a.gif.png).PS. My avatar is supposed to flap it's wings, but somehow it refuses to on PWeb. Hmpf. Maybe I need to find a new host site (I have Picasa right now)
I use photobucket and my animation seems to work well enough.
As for my ticket stubs, go read Steve's post again.

I'm like Steve. Mine are usually on my desk/dresser or whatever for a few days until they are thrown away.
The image is actually a PNG, not a GIF. You just changed the filename extension; you need to actually save it as a GIF.PS. My avatar is supposed to flap it's wings, but somehow it refuses to on PWeb. Hmpf. Maybe I need to find a new host site (I have Picasa right now)

Mine go almost exclusively straight into the trash, except for a few that make a pit stop on the desktop.

Off-Topic note to the Doc (Mobius):
Thanks! I tried several sites, but when I used photobucket, it started working! I just couldn't remember WHICH site it was "supposed" to be to work properly. (I actually cheated and looked at the properties of YOUR avatar, even before your kind comment above. One way or another, it's thanx to you!)

Movie stubs generally get tossed eventually.
Theatre stubs often get saved in the program for the show.
I don't usually go to concerts.
Museum stubs sometimes get saved. I still have my "feathered dinosaurs" stub from a Hatrack Con two and a half years ago.

Movie stubs normally always go in the trash, although they sometimes have a habit of being washed first. (I don't like to throw dirty things away )
As for program and museum tickets I tend to save most of them under the good intentions of keeping them as mementos; but they eventually always get tossed. I tend to live off my memories and am dreading a visit from "the Haitian" or the Alzheimer's in 50 to 60 years, whatever comes first.
There are a few occasions that I have enough common sense to think ahead a few steps and just toss the tickets ahead of times.

This reminds me of my "Things not to use as bookmarks when returning books to the library" post on my blog... perhaps I'll re-post it here.I use lots of things like that as bookmarks, too. Not candy wrappers so much, but I have been known to grab a clean tissue from the tissue box when I have no other bookmark.

I do that all the time. The only reason I used a kitkat wrapper was that I was reading The Worthing Saga and eating a kitkat at the same time. I needed a bookmark, so I used the wrapper. I also use those due-date cards..I use lots of things like that as bookmarks, too.

I generally save my ticket stubs and put them in my journal. I cover them with packing tape, so they don't fade that much (unless I leave them sitting around for months before I tape them in). I have some fond memories of those tickets. Unfortunately, I went on an amazing date a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to save the stub. So depressing.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.
