Featuring the personal collection and archive of autograph expert, collector and TV personality Steve Grad
This is a scarce full game ticket from the January 30, 2011 Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics matchup at Staples Center, personally hand-signed by Shaquille O'Neal. The ticket has been authenticated and encapsulated by Beckett Authentication Services, receiving a perfect autograph grade of 10. The autograph was also Beckett Witnessed.
About the signer: Shaquille O'Neal, also known as "Shaq," is a Basketball Hall of Famer, four-time NBA Champion, 15-time All-Star, and one of the most dominant centers in basketball history. He played for iconic franchises including the Lakers and Celtics, and remains a beloved figure in sports and entertainment today.
After this game, Shaq played only a handful of games due to an Achilles injury.
He never faced the Lakers again that season.
He retired at the end of the 2010–11 season.
The Lakers were eliminated in the 2011 Western Semifinals, and Boston never met them again that year — so there was no playoff meeting.
This signed ticket makes a fantastic addition to any Lakers or NBA memorabilia collection.
