It will be very difficult to find one. In my 45 years of collecting, I have seen three, and managed to snag one. (A new book, "Cooperstown Confidential," by Bruce Markusen, reports that Steve Verkman recently sold one for $22,000. I find that a bit hard to believe.)

Here's mine:

I really love that one David. I read the book a couple of months ago. An entertaining read. I also agree with you regarding the sell price of $22,000.

Back to the ticket, one of my closest friends bought this one at the beginning of December for $10,000 so that would put the count at four...
