The finest known ticket stub known the the March 2, 1962 contest between the Philadelphia Warriors and New York Knicks played at the Hershey Sports Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania in which Hall of Fame Warrior center Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points to set the NBA single game scoring record. The meaningless late season game was lightly attended with only a little over 4,000 fans in the arena. Many came to see the first game of the double header, a match between players of the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Colts. By the end of the 3rd period Chamberlain's point total was 69, just 4 points behind his NBA single game record of 73. With his teammates feeding him the ball and the Knicks fouling everyone except Wilt and trying to slow down the game, Wilt finally reached the 100 point mark with 46 seconds remaining. Several hundred fans rushed the court and caused almost a 10 minute delay before the game could be completed. Wilt finished the game with a record 36 out of 63 field goals and the 50% career free throw shooter shot an amazing 28 of 32. Stub is clean with sharp upper corners and a rough lower edge where separated from the rest of ticket. On back the person who witnessed this unbelievable event has written "The nite Wilt Chamberlain shot 100 pts. 36 field goals 28 foul shots". The only VG-EX 4 ticket stub for this historical NBA game with nothing else graded higher than PR 1 by PSA. Super rare memento from a historic feat that will never be surpassed!
