That's cool...

Landed this rare beauty. Its the only one graded by PSA.

Sending these in to get slabbed. 1970 Davis Cup final. USA defeats Germany. Last day ticket from one of the greatest Davis Cup matches in history. Arthur Ashe defeats Christian Kuhnke, 6–8, 10–12, 9‐7, 13‐11, 6‐4. The 86 games established a record for a cup match.

1985 U.S. Open Men's Final between Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe. Lendl's 1st U.S. Open title.

Last newp for April. This one was harder to find with nice centering, even in 10, than I thought it would be...

Question do you: is there much risk of counterfeit on ticket stubs? How do you authenticate? Is there a book or reference that show what they should look like (I.e. Blackhawk tickets from 1987 look like this, but in 1988 they changed X feature).

86D is a bear to find centered. By eyes we’re getting crosses each time I looked at those lines.. nice card!!!

I do not know how PSA authenticates tickets. And yes there are risks of counterfeits, just like any other high price memorabilia.

Thanks Mike!
I remember laughing at a dealer who said this would be a $1,000.00 card one day.
He's the one laughing now! 🤣

Congrats!!!. A great addition to your set. They look like the images from the 63 Topps set. The Kaline and Mays for sure. What Topps year for the "Killer?

Best thing about being on this board is seeing things that you had no idea existed!

To my knowledge this pose was never used on a Topps issue from 1955-1975.

LOL, yes, I didn't know about these until a couple of years ago. Only 8 of the sheets are graded.
I don't know how the Wheaties stamps were distributed. In boxes of cereal? Mail on offer? I'm pretty sure the full sheet didn't come in a box of Wheaties!

What are the dimensions of the item?
What makes the condition PR1? It's not obvious.
