Default 1956 World Series Game 5 – Don Larsen Perfect Game Stub (Ed Sullivan / Signed & Slab

Some tickets are just entry passes… and then there are tickets like this.

This is a 1956 World Series Game 5 stub from Yankee Stadium — the day Don Larsen threw his perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers, the only one in World Series history. Yankees 2, Dodgers 0. October 8, 1956. A game so legendary, it still echoes through baseball lore nearly 70 years later.

What makes this stub truly unique is not just the game itself, but the fact that it is signed by Ed Sullivan. Yes, the Ed Sullivan — the iconic television host — who was in attendance that day and personally autographed this very stub.

PSA has it slabbed EX 5 with an AUTO 8 grade. It’s a remarkable crossover piece where sports history and American pop culture collide: Don Larsen achieving perfection on the mound, while one of the biggest entertainment figures of the era witnessed it and left his signature behind.

To me, this isn’t just a collectible — it’s a time capsule from October 8, 1956. A seat in Yankee Stadium, a front-row view of baseball immortality, and the pen stroke of a man who defined television’s golden age.

�� Have any of you come across other celebrity-signed World Series stubs?
�� And where do you rank Larsen’s perfect game among the greatest single-game performances in baseball history?

Thanks for taking a look — this one will always hold a special place in my collection.
