Default Show & Tell Autographs you personally acquired

My dad found this ticket in the elevator the night of this game. He looked at it and wondered if it was still good. The door opened and he shoved the ticket in his wallet and hurried to the apartment because the game was on tonight. He put it away later that night. Fast forward to 1992 when I started collecting. He wondered if I would add this ticket to my collection. I said probably. He gave me the ticket. I looked at it and it was a Yankee ticket. I looked at it again, it was a 1977 Yankees ticket. Again I looked, it was 1977 World Series ticket. Then I thought to myself "Nah, it couldn't be...". But it was! Game 6, the night Reggie hit 3 homers! So I placed it in a brick. Fast forward to November 1993. Reggie was in town signing. I thought it would be great to have him autograph this item. I had to wait near the end because he signed flat items last. It wasn't the greatest meeting I had with an athlete. Figures. I think I have a one-of-a-kind because I have not seen another 1977 Game 6 WS ticket (signed) anywhere, but who knows?
