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.

My First Big O Auto!

Here's a most random addition to my collection but a really cool one. I was visiting my old job one day last year when I semi-regular high roller came in. He's that guy who could drop a couple grand without blinking. He's also the guy who would do that and only take the hits. On that day he did just that and everything else was up for grabs. Much to my surprise and delight this was something he left behind:

I don't know if he simply did not realize this was left behind or didn't care enough to take it but I was more than pleased to end up with the scraps. Hailing from 2018 Donruss and the Hall Dominator subset is this beautiful Oscar Robertson signature, numbered 14/25. Big O has such an aesthetically-pleasing auto that I wanted it protected so I sent it in to work and it came back in a spiffy PSA 9 slab.
