Montreal show pickup , something different the a card

[guy3050]

I'm not really a ticket collector , what I am is a lifelong Montreal Expos fan , Saturday I was at a show in Montreal when I saw a customer trying to sell this full ticket to a dealer , I patiently waited to see if they would strike a deal , when the customer walked away I approached him and we struck a deal , This is the first major league game played outside the United States , and The Expos 1st Home Opener April 14th 1969

I also grew up as an expos fan, that is super cool. Needs to be framed and hung on your wall.

That is my intention , first the ticket will be sent to psa to be graded and slabbed (it looks Mint) for extra protection , Then it will be framed with a first game program and/or a picture of opening game 1969 , Jarry park is very special to me , I spent most of my childhood in the left field bleachers also known as Jonesville , this is one of the coolest collectible that I ever purchased

Love it! I've got a ticket from the game when Iggy scored his 1000th point, and it is one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia.

You scored a great item. That is just awesome. Please post it up again once it's been graded.
