A Vintage Wilt and Oscar Stub!

Here's a really cool ticket stub I stumbled upon searching eBay one day. I sent it in for grading and knowing it would come back as a PSA 1 due to major back issues made the wait much easier. For being such a cool piece (in my eyes, maybe it's not for others) the price was very reasonable.


On November 17th of 1965 the Cincinnati Royals -- led by Oscar Robertson -- defeated the Philadelphia 76ers and Wilt Chamberlain. Big O had 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 12 assists while Wilt The Stilt dominated with 46 points and 24 boards. People lament all of the scoring in today's game but this one ended up at 131-115 in a time when the pace of play was this every game.

It's a most welcome addition to the ticket collection.

    1. I had to request it! Stuff like this they almost never deny upon asking.
