Description: 1973 National League Championship Series Game 1 Ticket StubPSA 6 POP 2 (None Graded Higher)HR: Johnny Bench & Pete RoseDESCRIPTION: Scarce collectible for Mets fans and fans of the Big Red Machine. This ticket stub is the highest graded example. POP 2 at PSA 6 with none graded higher. Only nine of these stubs have ever received a numerical grade at all by PSA. Fresh authentication and grade (September 2024), well after PSA raised their grading standards over the pandemic. The Reds won this opening game 2-1 at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. Both Johnny Bench and Pete Rose homered. Pedro Borbon earned the win, despite Tom Seaver's 13 strikeouts--a feat unmatched by a Mets pitcher until Jacob deGrom struck out 13 in Game 1 of the 2015 NLDS. New York went on to win the series in five games, advancing to the World Series, where they lost to the A's.Seven HOFers participated in this series: the Big Red Machine's Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and Sparky Anderson (mgr); and the Mets' Willie Mays, Tom Seaver, and Yogi Berra (mgr). The 1973 playoffs would be the final postseason appearance of legend Willie Mays.SHIPPING: Shipped securely in bubble wrap/cardboard via USPS First Class. ** See our other graded Reds tickets. ** WK
