Part of the joy in going through auction catalogs for me is viewing those rare items.
Would be cool to see what board members have that are considered only a handful known to exist.
Whether it's a pop 2 psa 10 or a rare pennant, it'll be fun to share.
I'll start with one of my favorite tickets, history from Wikipedia:
Thursday November 25 1971, Thanksgiving day, #1 Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. #2 Oklahoma Sooners
ABC-TV broadcast the game nationally to an estimated 55 million viewers (at the time the largest television audience ever for a college football game)
Considered the "Game of the Century", SportingNews voted 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers the greatest college football team in history.
Game ending -
Relying on a power running game, the Huskers retook the lead and led 28–17 going into the fourth quarter. Quarterback Jack Mildren led the Sooners back, and Oklahoma led 31–28 with 7:05 to play. The Huskers got the ball back on their own 26-yard line. Getting to the Oklahoma 48, Husker quarterback Jerry Tagge threw to Rodgers, who broke tackles and ran all the way to the 15. Tailback Jeff Kinney then carried four times, the last resulting in his fourth touchdown of the game, and Nebraska led 35–31 with two minutes to go. Sacks of Mildren on third and fourth down in Sooner territory finished the game off as a Nebraska win.
This was a hot selling ticket, hard pill to swallow for who had this ticket and did not make it to the game.
Full "unused" ticket. PSA pop reports shows only 1 full ticket graded, still undecided if this will hit the books as #2.

I definitely think you should make that the #2 graded full Akruracy. As a matter of fact I was wondering how many tickets the board would have to get together to submit to PSA to get a deal on ticket grading, kinda like what the guys have going for the PSA/DNA submission.
Bobby Lowe was the first player in big league history to hit 4 home runs in a game, May 30, 1894. He is the player with the fewest career home runs to do it. He had 71.
