Lot # 1023: 1985 Pete Rose Signed Full Ticket From Record Breaking Career Hit #4,192 Game

Now that Pete Rose has finally been reinstated to the game he devoted his life to, it's a good bet he will be getting some long overdue Hall of Fame votes when the Classic Baseball Era Committee meets in 2027. There's no time like the present to bolster your collection with items related to the "Hit King". A great prize takes the spotlight, with this Rose signed full ticket from the game he racked up his record breaking career hit number 4,192.

Ty Cobb's long-standing record for career hits stood for nearly sixty years, so it was big news when Rose passed Cobb on 9/11/85, in a Cincinnati Reds home game versus the San Diego Padres. Issued for this major milestone game at Riverfront Stadium, this full ticket has a compacting fold crease at center. Despite this fairly unobtrusive condition, this colorful ticket remains crisp and very attractive, with vibrant colors, a clean surface, and sharp corners. Rose has signed big and bold across the front, with ("9.5") potency, by means of a blue felt-tip pen.
