Bumping for updates . . .

Did we ever find out how many books there are?

Tickets rarely show up in my searches on eBay but when I saw one this morning for $125 BIN I jumped on it. A great looking ticket, Dave Rowe (of OJ fame) was president of the club (printed on ticket), beautiful looking ticket, I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

I somehow missed this thread (or forgot about it), only found it after a quick search after I purchased the ticket. I'm sad to hear the previous owner cut up a book. They are great looking tickets, glad to add one to my collection even if I paid too much. I now wonder how many have already been sold into the hobby and how many remain.

Dan, I often think of you when I see Omaha items, did you end up getting a booklet? I know it is a bit outside your scope, but would really be at home in your collection.

More than anything, I'm just looking for an update on these neat tickets. Do we stand at ~20 free tickets and 3 books?

No more books were found. I have one individual ticket, but never obtained a book. I know the guy who found these very well, if he had more he would have sold them by now and I would have heard about it.

I agree Joe that's a great looking ticket!

I offered $225 to end it early and he came back with $300 and I said sold.

Randall, do you recall the ebay seller name you got it from. Totally missed it.

I don't recall the seller as it was back in January. It wasn't up long, maybe an hour before I snagged it.

Well that explains why I didn't see it then. :D

Great score!
