It's not about what does and doesn't bother you. The fact is, from a collector's/monetary perspective, the less of the original ticket that is preserved, the lesser the value.

I'd also say it would lower the value, as its incomplete. In the same way that a signed programme would be worth more than a signed programme page.

I would have thought it would reduce the value...

thanks justinsdad

any more thoughts?

I believe it does reduce the value somewhat [rather minimally], as I've heard the same thing about concert tickets. I guess its because it makes it more 'incomplete'.

Hi,
As some of you might know i recently got a match ticket signed IP. However i decided to cut of the zig zag lines on the two ends of the ticket so it looks better. Recently i heard that it makes the signed ticket not worth that much, is that true?
Obviously I am not intending to sell it; but as a collector I would like my autographs to be as 'worthy' as possible.
thanks
