Rare ticket stub from Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 Point game on March 2, 1962. Graded VG 2 by PSA (submitted by Lelands). This is one of only 15 examples of this ticket stub listed in the PSA Population. Only two are graded at this level, with just four graded higher.

The low population report is not surprising, as only 4,124 fans attended the game. Given their rarity, it appears few stubs were saved despite Chamberlain's record-setting performance. Our consignor was one of the exceptions. He attended the game that day and was fortunate enough to keep his ticket all these years. As such, it is new to the hobby and has never before been offered for sale, either publicly or privately. Chamberlain's 100-point ticket stub has appreciated dramatically in recent times, as evidenced by the PSA 3 example in Lelands' Winter 2002 auction that sold for a record price of $107,828. 

Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-Point game is still talked about today as the greatest feat ever performed on the hardwood, sometimes in mythical tones when one considers that the three-point line wasn’t adopted by the NBA until 1979. This ticket stub commemorates that historic achievement and represents what many consider the most significant basketball ticket in the hobby. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain a high-grade example of this iconic relic on the 60th anniversary of the historic event. The ticket stub measures approximately 1.75x1.5".
