Women’s gymnastics is one of the premier events at every summer Olympics. In the 1984 Olympics, held in Los Angeles, Mary Lou Retton took the world by storm winning gold in gymnastics. I love this autographed version with a fantastic descriptions of 1984 gold USA. While it’s likely not worth a lot, I love collecting historic sporting events like this that are steeped in history and nostalgia. I had this one authenticated by CGC X JSA. Their slabs are beautiful and crystal clear!

I love Olympics autos. Especially those that are significant historically to the United States. Greg Louganis was one of the best divers in US history and dominated jn the 1984 games in Los Angeles. Probably not worth a lot, but I like these in slabs. The Olympic fuse sports + history so well!

I’ve only started collecting tickets and ticket stubs in the last two years or so. But I try not to collect just any stubs, only debuts or significant events. This one is both historic and significant. This is from the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. It is when Jesse Owens made his Olympic debut in defiance of the growing presence in shadow of Adolf Hitler.

While the gold medal game is likely the more sought after ticket, this is the very first game team USA played in the 1992 Olympics. This fact alone makes it incredibly special as it was the “debut” game. USA won easily over Croatia with Michael Jordan leading all scorers with 21 points. The Croatian team, however, was loaded with NBA stars such as Drazen Petrovic, Dino Radja and Toni Kukoc and others. I believe this to be the second most important dream team basketball ticket after the gold medal game!

Love historically significant tickets and autographs. This one is not autographed but as it dates back to 113 years ago and represents one of my favorite all-time athletes.

So cool
