Description

Desirable signed ticket stub for Larsen’s 1956 World Series perfect game

Original ticket stub from Game 5 of the 1956 World Series, held at Yankee Stadium on October 8, 1956, 4.25 x 2.25, signed on the reverse in blue felt tip. Encapsulated in a plastic PSA/DNA authentication holder. Signature is bold and in fine condition, with scattered creases and a few ballpoint notations to the front of the ticket stub. Over the course of the 135-year history of Major League Baseball, only 23 perfect games have been thrown, with Larsen’s the only one coming in the postseason. The 1956 World Series was a rematch of the previous year’s, pitting the Yankees against their crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers. The teams were evenly matched, but the Yankees won the championship in seven games, and Larsen was named the MVP of the series for his once-in-a-lifetime achievement. Unquestionably the most desirable format for Larsen’s autograph, as it represents one of the most memorable sporting moments of the past century. RR Auction COA.
