Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA/DNA. This is a full ticket from the final game of the 1982 NCAA Basketball Tournament. A thrilling contest, featuring Michael Jordan and James Worthy’s North Carolina squad matching up against Patrick Ewing and the Georgetown Hoyas. It was the 19-year-old Jordan, not yet a superstar, who hit the game winning shot, rising from the left wing to finalize the score at 63-62 in favor of the Tar Heels. This is widely considered MJ’s launching point, the transformative event that put him on the path to becoming the greatest player in basketball history. The game took place in the Louisiana Superdome on March 29th, 1982. This ticket is the scarce purple variation with “BASKETBALL FINALS” in bold black print across the front and an image of the Louisiana Superdome below. The price of this ticket was $13.00 as was in the “PLAZA” locale. This full ticket has been encapsulated by PSA/DNA (18477684) and has been graded a VG-EX 4.
