I think I found a complete ticket to the 1956 Indiana-Kentucky High School All-Star Game in this auction. Seen in the fourth picture near the Pacers button. (https://hibid.com/lot/125346115/second-treasure-chest--cuff-links--sports-and---)
It should be his second to last game as a high school player. He scored 34 points as he and Indiana beat Kentucky. The date and location match my research.
There was another game at a different venue on June 25th 1956 where he scored 41 I believe.
I'm not sure of the monetary value, but it's definitely important for basketball / Robertson fans.
The auction does not ship, and therefore I can't bid on it. I just messaged the auctioneer to note that ticket's importance because I really don't want it thrown away by someone buying the assorted junk.
If anyone here is a Big O fan, and lives around Indiana. This may be worthwhile for you.
The only other ticket I can find of this game is live on ebay right now too (https://www.ebay.com/itm/204015500711?hash=item2f80457da7:g:rxEAAOSwhTpiuxA e). It appears to be in worse shape, and only has print on one side. No bids at $100. I'm not sure why this ticket is so different, but whatever. The print is the same.
