Really bummed, but ISO extra Wrigley Field ticket stub

So I'll preface this with saying I'm an idiot and should've done a test on something else. Such is life.

My Wrigley ticket was pretty wrinkly. I watched a tutorial about getting wrinkles out of paper. I put the ticket between some craft paper, face down, gave the craft paper a little spritz of water, and ironed it for about five seconds.

This is what my Wrigley ticket looks like now ... on the day I was going to start the framing job to go with my Eddie at Wrigley original 1/1 sketch from Paul Shipper (also shown below). I didn't take into account the heat-sensitive nature of the paper. I may not have thought the wrinkles were really going to come out, but I certainly didn't think it was possible that I was going to burn it beyond recognition with one pass of the iron.

Suffice it to say, I'm mildly depressed ... and now am seeking a spare Wrigley Field ticket stub. Don't really care about the location. I was in the upper deck. I know it's a shot in the dark ... but if you've got a spare, and you take some pity on someone who was hoping to frame his ticket with this awesome piece of art, but now can only frame this blackened piece of destruction, hit me up and let's see what we can figure out. (And yes, I'm the same dipshit who also washed and dried his Cincinnati ticket. I swear, I'm not ALWAYS such an idiot.)

    I think it just needs some bleach and it will be just like new.

    Do yourself a favor and be you online. Anonymity plus audience often equals asshole.
    Try not to be one. Make mom proud.

    Paying it forward... Someone on here did the same for me when I discovered I had lost an 11 year old stub.

    Those tickets are heat sensitive. Allegedly one of the ways to test to see if you are buying legit tickets is to heat up the corner with a lighter and see if it turns black.

    Cheers to the guy who helped you out with a new ticket!

    Correct!!! I show everyone that trick with the lighter. Never fails.

    You need a Cincy stub? Was gonna offer a Wrigley, but seems that is taken care of. LMK, I can send a Cincy stub.
    It's amazing what you hear when you take time to listen.

    Already got taken care of a few weeks back with the Cincinnati ticket, @PJinIL‌. Appreciate the offer, though, regardless!
