...it's a bit of a beater, but the other two on eBay were $999 and $4,500 (mine was $10)...

This was the game that Rick Monday saved the U.S. flag from a couple of dirtbags trying to burn it in the outfield. If you're not familar with this *GREAT* moment in baseball, you can watch it here.

Oh yeah, I also picked up the image on cardboard:

    If that happened today , he would probably be accused of some type of free speech harrassment. He did mess up the loser's show.

    Nice pick on the ticket.---- Sonny

    Kind of a silly thing imo, the sad part to me is that William Thomas had his 11 year old son with him...

    Did you get this off of ebay? I'm so pissed i'missed out on this. Really awsome ticket. I love how psa mentions "rick monday saves US flag" on the slab. I usually search ebay every once in while for this.. but must have missed it. SHOOT.. i've wasted too much time looking for boxing and tennis panini cards... are you going to get it slabbed?

    I have no problem with a protest, but not good thing when you try to burn a flag.

    Yup. I troll eBay regularly for ticket stubs (concerts too). I'm going to get it slabbed with bunch of others as soon as PSA runs a ticket special. Any idea how many of these there are on the pop report?

    I love the official scoring on that limage
