Offered is a collection of 13 different milestone baseball game full tickets from the period 1992 to 2007. The first ticket in this collection is from August 15, 1990, when Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Terry Mulholland threw a no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Mulholland no-hit the Giants 6-0, the first no-hitter in the stadium's history, Mulholland became the first pitcher to no-hit a former team since the Houston Colt .45s' Ken Johnson did so against the Cincinnati Reds in 1964. He faced the minimum of 27 batters. The only batter to reach base was on a throwing error by Charlie Hayes on Rick Parker's ground ball leading off the seventh inning; Parker was retired on Dave Anderson's double playground ball one batter later. The 27th out was made by Hayes with a lunging catch of Gary Carter's line drive down the third base line. This ticket has been encapsulated and authenticated by PSA (16755810) and graded NM-MT 8.

The second ticket in this collection is from September 9, 1992, when Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Robin Yount collected his 3,000th career hit at Milwaukee County Stadium.

Winfield singled off Oakland Athletics reliever Dennis Eckersley in the bottom of the ninth inning with the Twins trailing 2-0, scoring Kirby Puckett en route to an eventual 5-4 Twins win.

The 10th ticket in this collection is from August 6, 1999, when the San Diego Padres star rightfielder, Tony Gwynn, got career hit #3,000 in a 12-10 win over the Montreal Expos at Olympic Stadium in Montreal.  On his first at-bat, Gwynn singled off Dan Smith to become the 22nd member of baseball's elite 3,000-hit club. The left-handed hitting Gwynn won eight batting titles in his career, tied for the most in National League history. He is considered one of the best and most consistent hitters in baseball history.

This ticket has been encapsulated and authenticated by PSA (90661201) and graded MINT 9.
