Default Vida Blue no-hitter ticket

One of my favorite pickup from the 2019 National was this really nice example of the super scarce Vida Blue no-hitter ticket on September 21, 1970.
Many thanks to long-time hobby friend & dealer Mark Macrae which found this for me. This upgrades the one I previously had in my collection that took me 44 years to locate.

Only 4,284 people attended this game making this absolutely one of the most challenging no-hitter tickets to find post WWII.

BTW, the 2019 National in Chicago was a blast! I had a lot of fun hanging out with many hobby friends. It was great running into Carlton, Graig Kriendler, & Tim Carroll from net54.
