World Championship Ticket

I found a ticket for Game 5 (28th July 1986), of the 1986 World Chess Championship in London between Gary Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov, in-between the pages of an old chess book today. I'd forgotten I'd put it there 30 years ago! Fortunately it's kept it in perfect condition. It's about 6 x 4 inches and on some kind of parchment type paper. I have no clue if anyone collects these things but if anyone knows if it does has value, I would appreciate if you can advise me, as I don't know myself. I wasn't sure the best place to post this, so I hope here is ok. Thank you.

I couldn't find any resell of tickets regarding the specific match you mentioned. However, tickets from Fischer vs Spassky from the 1972 WCC match go sell for $20-$45 on eBay. Considering that your game would be of less prestige, I suspect the value would be between $15-$25. Hopefully this is helpful.

Here is one that sold for $24 including shipping:

Thanks Alex for your reply and for the link. This gives me a clearer idea about it's value. At least I know I still need to buy a weekly lottery ticket. But still not bad for a piece of old paper! Cheers.
