I recently picked up two nice additions to my no-hit ticket collection.

One is a ticket stub to HOF Sandy Koufax's masterpiece perfect game on 9/9/65 vs. the Chicago Cubs. Tough luck losing pitcher Bob Hendley only allowed 1 hit making this arguably one of the greatest pitched games ever in ML history.

The second ticket stub has been unbelievably tough to locate- KC Royals' Jim Colborn's no-hitter vs. the Texas Rangers on May 14th, 1977. Plenty of fans attended this game- 29,978, but this is the FIRST example of this ticket that I have ever even heard of existing in the 34 years following the game. Anyway, I'm very happy to own it.

I now have tickets to 193 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.
BTW, I only need tickets to 15 no-hitter games from 1940 to present, which I still believe is an attainable goal.

PLMK if you have any tickets to pre-1980 no-hitter games that you are willing to sell or trade.

Great pick ups Scott! To what do you attribute the scarcity of the 1977 stub? It seems like a few should be out there.
