Although it wasn�t my intention I was fortunate to have landed two in a single month. PSA has slabbed 27 of these to date. I wanted to share it with the Net54 community as I didn�t want any collector who might be looking for one of these to miss out on an opportunity to add one to his or her collection.

Great ticket. Its been quite a while since one of these came to auction, at least well before the run up in ticket prices. It will be interesting to see what this one goes for given the current ticket market.

Although not in the HOF. Elroy Face is considered to be The Godfather of the modern closer. I picked up this stub earlier this evening. Its Face�s 18th victory of his record setting 1959 season. It was also his 22nd consecutive win which is the second longest winning streak in MLB history behind Hubble�s 24. That season his 18-1 record set the still-standing major league record for winning percentage (.947). His 18 wins that year also set the single-season wins in relief record.

Very nice ticket Mike, Elroy was the all-time N.L career save leader from 1962 to 1982 when Bruce Sutter passed him, Elroy ended his career With the brand new Montreal Expos in 1969 with 193 career saves, here is the ticket to his last career save #193

Beautiful ticket Guy. I love the color and graphics on those vintage Expos tickets.

June 25th 1988 ticket between the Orioles & Red Sox is iconic for a couple reasons...

One being it was the game 1,000 in Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive game streak.

The other being the day that the infamous photo of Bill Ripken was taken (which appeared in the Fleer set the next year):

Jeremy Giambi, what a tragedy. I met him in Phoenix during spring training he was funny, engaging, and living his best life, such a loss to his family and those that loved him.

Full 1973 ticket for Willie Mays Last hit (3293) and last RBI (1909). For what its worth there are no other stubs or full tickets on the PSA pop report for this date.

I recently was fortunate to scratch another early vintage no-hitter ticket off of my want list.

Here is a ticket stub from CWS pitcher Vern Kennedy's August 31, 1935 no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians.
The White Sox prevailed 5-0 with Kennedy fanning 5 with 4 BB.
Additionally, Kennedy helped his own cause in this game hitting a triple w/ 3 RBI's.
Kennedy was a great overall athlete and had a career batting average of .244 over 12 years in the major leagues. Not bad for a pitcher!

Another pre-war toughee with a very small attendance of 5,000. It's also important to note that the majority of CWS tickets from this era were undated tickets.
This is the only example that I have ever seen or heard of entering the hobby as long as I have been collecting.
Luckily it's fully dated and in terrific shape for being 87 years old....

I now have tickets to 237 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.
