Rare full ticket to the first game at Busch Memorial Stadium in St. Louis, held on May 12, 1966. This is the only full example of this ticket we have seen and it should be noted that there is no example listed in the PSA Population report. A near-capacity crowd of 46,048 turned out that night to witness the Cardinals christen their new stadium with a 4-3 twelve-inning win over the Atlanta Braves. The ticket (5.5 x 1.5 inches), issued for an "Upper Terrace Reserved" seat, remains in Near Mint condition. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
