Graded Good 2 by PSA with a (mk) qualifier due to discrete pencil writing on the reverse. In a fitting end to a tragically abbreviated career, Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente doubled in his last-ever regular season start. In an otherwise meaningless game, it was significant in that it was the 3,000th and final hit of a remarkable career. This ticket stub was issued on September 30, 1972 to one of 13,117 spectators at Three Rivers Stadium who witnessed the Pirates 5-0 shutout over the Mets. This Field Box voucher is one of only eleven such passes judged by the grading service.
