As background, ticket stubs from this game surface from time to time, although they are somewhat rare.
Full tickets to this game are super tough. I have seen perhaps 3 full tickets to this game enter the hobby through the years. Two of the three were in pretty beat up shape IMHO, and I passed on both.
This guy is the first really nice one that I have ever seen. I had to own it in my collection... 
Many thanks to net54 board members Mike, Charles and Joe for all making sure that I saw this ticket and pointing out the auction to me.
Heads ups are always appreciated as it really does take a village to build a great collection.  
It's really gratifying to have so many collector friends keeping an eye out for me & I'm eternally grateful!! |
Very nice Scott! Its so nice to know that so many Net54 members have your back if we miss something! Congrats..
