I have all 3 slew tickets..and I also have a program and uncashed Belmont ticket of Secretariat - as well as a admission ticket to Secretariat's Preakness (got that 40+ years ago when I belonged to the Sport of Kings Club - anyone remember that?) and an uncashed $5 win ticket from Secretariat's last race.

The prices these guys are asking are not likely going to happen. From past ebay sales (not asking prices) I doubt my whole collection is worth much more than 700 dollars or so. The uncashed Belmont is probably worth 300-500, not sure of the program. The Seattle Slew ones are not worth anywhere near that - likely not even 150-200 for the three. (A similarly framed set of the the Slew ones signed by the owners and jockey sold for $350 a couple of months ago)

Somehow I can't think the AP ones will be worth much - everybody kept them. And, at least for me, these computer tickets don't have the same feeling as the old style tote tickets.
