Dave,

A little off topic, but are your related to Jeff Grob the landscape architect? Most people would know him as the drummer of Looking Glass ('Brandy', "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne?) and under the pseudonym Joe X. Dube as the drummer for Starz ('Cherry Baby")

To quote Forrest Gump. "We are not relations."

After 43 years of searching, I'm very happy to finally find a ticket stub to HOF'er Phil Neikro's 9-0 no-hitter vs. the Padres on 8/5/73.
"Knucksie" struck out 4 and walked 3 in his pitching gem.

Not only was this ticket a bastard to find, the USPS added to my agony by losing my package for 43 days on it's trip from the west coast.
Finding this ticket now brings my collection to a grand total of 203 tickets to different no-hit games dating back to 1901. Phil Niekro was the last HOF'er no-hit ticket that I needed to complete my run from 1940 forward.

That hat is sick! Love it!

[Scott Garner]

Thanks to all of you that commented. Bob and Dave, both of your pickups are terrific. Congrats!

[MGHPro]

Great pick up Bob. Sold for less than I expected. I'm shocked by some of the prices realized. Just incredible!

While not related to Dave, I was thrilled to see a Joe X Dube reference...

Never expected to see that here (or anywhere else, for that matter). Back in the '70s, my friends and I always voted Starz as the best band never to "make it big". We couldn't understand why they fell short... Many great tunes, but perhaps a lack of support from their record label was to blame.

Getting back on topic.... Amazing pickups by Dave, Scott and Bob.... WOW!
