My first trophy ball. Although it isn't as nice as some, I really like it!

Nice pickup the best part of getting a trophy ball is researching the event and teams.

We had another snow storm in the midwest (KC), so no work today. I was able to make it down to the local antique mall where, to my suprise, I was able to pick up these three 1931 WS tickets and Press Pass for a great price. I was particularly excited about the Pass.

I collaborated on the pickup of an eBay lot that contained two pristine full tickets to the 1969 Miracle Mets 100th and final win of their Amazin' season that caught the entire sports world by surprise.
It's ironic that this game occured in Chicago. As many of you may remember, the Cubs had been a strong NL front runner until their legendary late season fade...
One of my collecting focuses Nolan Ryan pitched in relief in this game and got his final K of the regular season.
In 38 years of collecting I have never seen another full ticket to this game. I've always hoped I would find one, and now I have. Cool!

I picked this up very cheaply at a local auction that was hampered by a snow storm a couple weeks ago. The framing goes very well with it.
