+1 Beautiful cigar box.

Just picked up this pretty beaten up program from the Jackie Robinson All-Stars 1949 tour. This is a program for a specific game, unlike the standard program which was generic for the tour. Anyone seen these before?

I was fortunate to recently add this really nice ticket stub to HOF'er Hoyt Wilhelm's no-hitter against Don Larsen and the NY Yanks 1-0 on 9/20/58 @ Baltimore.
Hoyt Wilhelm is known as a knuckleballing relief specialist over his great career that spanned over 1000 games, but he actually started out as a starting pitcher.
Tickets to Wilhelm's no-hitter are very scarce. I know of only 3 that I am aware of in the hobby and I now own two of them.

Thanks Dewey and Mike!
Good question.
I now have tickets to 206 different no-hit games dating back to 1901.
296 no-hitter games have been pitched through 2017.
147 of my no-hit tickets are signed by 153 different pitchers as some no-hitters were combo no-hitters that involved more than one pitcher.
33 of the 206 no-hit tickets were to games pitched by HOF pitchers...

Here's one guy that has pitched two no-hitters so far.
Congrats on your World Series win with the Astros JV...

Scott, great collection! I was wondering, since so many of the teams don't print tickets for their season ticket holders, is it more difficult to find no-hitter tickets for games pitched recently than for games pitched in the good old days?
