"Keep some souvenirs of your past, or how will you ever prove it wasn't all a dream?" said noted English American author and cartoonist Ashleigh Brilliant. One avid, multi-sport fan strongly believed in the aforementioned sentiment, and he amassed an amazing collection of 100+ full sports tickets and sport ticket stubs, each from an event he attended. Most of the ticket/stubs are for games, races, and other competitive events. A few of the tickets are for a sports related event, such as a luncheon or dinner.

Some highlights: 1980 Kentucky Derby, at Churchill Downs. Won by Genuine Risk, ridden by Jacinto Vasquez, owned by Diane Firestone. (ticket stub); 1978 Cotton Bowl Classic, at Dallas, Texas (ticket stub); 1979 Bluebonnet Bowl at the Astrodome, in Houston, Texas (ticket stub); 1980 Cotton Bowl Classic in Dallas, Texas, (ticket stub); 1976 2001 MLB All-Star Game in Seattle, Washington - the final All-Star game appearance for two Hall of Famers - Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn. (full tickets); 1995 World Series, three tickets, for Games 3, 4, and 5 at Cleveland, between the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves. The Braves won the World Championship, the first by the franchise since moving to Atlanta (full tickets); 1996 Olympic Games, for baseball at Atlanta, Georgia, for admission on four different games (full tickets); 1997 NCAA Basketball Semi-Finals (two ticket stubs) and Finals (one ticket stub); July 15, 1999, The Inaugural Game at Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington, between the Mariners and the visiting San Diego Padres (Jumbo full ticket, measures 5.25x12.3"); 1995 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four at Seattle, Washington (two ticket stubs, one in poor condition, with many folds, as if the stub had been folded numerous times and carried in a wallet); 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia (seven full tickets and nine ticket stubs, for various dates); 2002 NCAA Women's Final Four at the Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas (one ticket stub for Final Game and one ticket stub for Semi-Finals).

Also, the offering includes many football bowl tickets, including Rose Bowl, Independence Bowl, Fiesta Bowl; Olympic Trials, Big Eight Conference Tournament (basketball), a March 10, 1984, DePaul home game vs. Marquette, in the final coaching season for DePaul's head coach - legendary, beloved Hall of Famer Ray Meyer. Most of the full tickets and ticket stubs are in EXCELLENT Condition. A few are in VERY GOOD or GOOD condition. One of the aforementioned 1995 Men's Basketball Final Four stubs, because of folds, is in POOR condition. Overall, the tickets represent approximately a half-century of athletic events, in numerous sports, played in myriad locations across the United States. It's such a varied collection that it offers a fine, broad appeal.
