Description

1962 Wilt Chamberlain 100-Point Game Philadelphia Warriors Ticket Stub, PSA Good 2 (MK). Everybody wants one, and almost nobody has one--it's the most sought after ticket in the basketball collecting hobby. Despite the enormous scarcity of relics from this Hershey, Pennsylvania contest, every fan on earth knows the event. On March 2, 1962, the seven-foot one inch superstar center for the Philadelphia Warriors became the first (and, to date, only) man in NBA history to require a third digit on his personal scoring sheet, dropping an even one hundred in a 169-147 victory over the visiting New York Knicks.

Just over four thousand fans were on hand to witness this stunning display of offensive production, so the scarcity of surviving stubs is little surprise. This example presents considerably better than its technical grade, but then grading is almost irrelevant for such a rare, genuine witness to an unequivocal event in NBA history. Vintage handwriting on reverse lists the outrageous numbers.

It is also interesting to note that the 100-point game never officially ended. Right after Dippy hit the century mark, fans rushed the floor and referees Pete D'Ambrosio and Willie Smith decided there was no point in continuing despite the fact that there were still forty-six seconds remaining on the clock. Also, more remarkable in many ways than the 100 points were Wilt's season averages of 50.4 points, 25.7 rebounds, and 48.4 minutes per game. Encapsulated by PSA, Good 2 (MK).

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
