Seattle Mariner tickets
Not vintage but to me I think it is pretty cool. Around 1995 I purchased a ticket for the Seattle Mariners first game ever played at the Kingdome. Not that rare to find here in the Seattle area. Flash forward to the final year in the Kingdome, when single game tickets went on sale I purchased the exact same seat location for the last Mariner game to be played in the Kingdome. I remember the lady at the Mariners office giving me a weird look when I asked for a completely random upper deck seat location in the middle of the row when their was so many other seats open at the time. I have the two tickets sitting in a box somewhere just keep putting it off getting them framed up. How many people can say that they have a ticket (same seat location) to the first and last game at a stadium for their favorite team?

tickets
These are George Brett's last game tickets .... one in Kansas City the
other in Texas. The Arlington ticket is also the last game in Arlington Stadium and would be Nolan Ryan's last game in that Stadium. They are also signed |

Jim "Catfish" Hunter full, unused perfect game ticket
One of my personal favorites from my no-hit ticket collection is this full, unused ticket from Catfish Hunter's perfect game on May 8th, 1968. Very few people attended this game (attendance 6298- lowest ever in a perfect game), making any example of this ticket scarce. Finding a full, unused ticket was insanely difficult as I am only aware that two exist in the hobby! I found mine about 6-8 years ago in a major auction.
Enjoy! |

Scott, that Catfish Hunter perfect game ticket is sweet! Catfish was always one of my favorite players.
I've been meaning to ask you about your no hit ticket collection. Sounds like you have quite a few. Besides the obvious "very old tickets", are there any more recent tickets that you've had a hard time finding (lack of attendance, etc)? Just curious. Also, did anyone get a chance over the 4th of July weekend to see the MLB channel and their show about perfect games. It was pretty good, but what made it real interesting, at least for me, was something I didn't realize. I'm watching as Tom Browning throws a perfect game and who catches the last out...Paul O'neil...and there he is again as both Wells and Cone throw perfect-o's. How unusual that one player would participate in 3 no hitters, let alone perfect games. |

Scarce no-hitter and perfect game tickets
Quote:
Thanks! I always liked Catfish as well. Great question! Since baseball attendance is up over the last 20-25 years there aren't many recent no-hitter and perfect game tickets that I would call scarce, but there are a few. Here are some that I believe are a challenge to find: Mike Witt's perfect game (season ticket) on 9/30/84 at Texas Joe Cowley's no-no on 9/19/86 at Anaheim Mark Langston, Mike Witt combo no-hitter 4/11/90 at Anaheim Kent Mercker, Mark Wohlers, Pena combo no-hitter 9/11/91 at Atlanta Anabal Sanchez (season ticket) 9/6/06 at Miami BTW, I'm still missing a few from the 1960's and 1970's for my collection. Because I don't own them already, I know these are tough to find. I would love to locate these and would pay a finders fee to anyone that can help me locate them: Ken Johnson 4/23/64 at Houston Dave Morehead 9/16/65 at Boston Don Wilson 6/18/67 at Houston Ray Washburn 9/18/68 at SF Bill Stoneman 4/17/69 at Philadelphia Don Wilson 5/1/69 at Cincinnati Jim Palmer 8/13/69 at Baltimore Vida Blue 9/21/70 at Oakland Bill Stoneman (2nd) 10/2/72 at Montreal Steve Busby (1st) 4/27/73 at Detroit Phil Niekro 8/5/73 at Atlanta Jim Colborn 5/14/77 at Kansas City Thanks!
