Cool Michael Jordan Item (not McJordan sauce)

I have a ticket stub from Michael Jordan's first professional game - it was an exhibition (pre-season) game at the Peoria Civic Center.

Here is a blurb about the game from Hoop magazine:

Day 8: Debut night at the Peoria Civic Center against the Indiana Pacers. Jordan can play in Peoria or anywhere else, but the crowd is surprisingly small.

Jordan doesn't start and when he does get into the game late in the first quarter, he's playing point guard for the first time in his life. Before the exhibition season is over, he'll also play off-guard and both forward positions.

Asked by Loughery to concentrate on rebounding, Jordan gets eight boards and 18 points in the Bulls' victory.

"It's like starting from the bottom again," Jordan says afterward. "I was nervous, but I'm OK after I run up and down the court a few times. That gets it out of my system. I like playing the point because you run the whole show. I'm pretty proud of myself"

    Wow, very cool. There can't be very many of those around.
  • if that was a ticket to his first regular season game you would have something very valuable . but since its a preseason stub not so much

    Very cool item. I think in most cases the regular season would be worth more than a preseason... It technically this is jordans first time ever t set foot court in a bulls uniform.. I think it's a very cool piece an you should definitely sub it this month under the ticket special. If a jug of BBQ sauce could go for 10 k and a contrived 1 of many 1/1 go for 30k I would say fair value on this is about a billion dollars...
