Psst, got any spare tickets?


Psst, got any spare tickets?
Ever get the feeling collecting is getting, well, a bit stupid? Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something seems to pop up that makes you question people’s sanity.
Now I’ve seen Japanese cinema tickets come up for sale before. They are usually nicely designed and usually carry a nice couloir image or poster art – but it’s a ticket stub, right? Because of their novelty value, it’s not unusual to see them sell for around $20 - $30 max. So, I was a bit shocked when our friend Davy Triumph spotted this little one up for grabs – an original Japanese ticket for Dirty Harry. Nice little object, fair enough… Then I saw the price tag attached to it… US $798.00 (£606.54) and the seller even has the Cojones to add a postage rate! 
Honestly, check yourself into hospital…
