Hi Rob,
In order to find all of the no-hitters dating back to 1893 (the year that the mound distance moved to the current 60' 6" standard), which would be impossible, I would still need to find tickets to 81 no-hitters including a few that don't technically match the modern criteria of what defines a true no-hitter (at least 9 complete innings without giving up a hit).

What's realistically the number that I still believe is findable?
I only need tickets to 12 no-hitter games dating to 1935. I'd also would like to upgrade about 3 or 4 of the tickets that are in my collection.
In my mind, I still believe that this may be attainable. With luck, perhaps a few more...
The search continues & it's been a really fun collecting challenge.
