Offered here is an ultra-rare July 27, 1975 full uncut baseball ticket featuring rookie pitcher John Montefusco throwing a complete game in a 3–1 victory for the San Francisco Giants over the Houston Astros.
This game is significant for several reasons:
✅ Montefusco Rookie Season (1975) – The future National League Rookie of the Year delivers a dominant complete game performance.
✅ Opposing pitcher: J. R. Richard, one of the most overpowering arms of the 1970s.
✅ Home run by Chris Speier.
✅ Final Score: Giants 3, Astros 1.
✅ Full, Uncut Ticket – Extremely scarce in this format.
Full, unseparated tickets from the mid-1970s are exceptionally difficult to find, especially tied to:
A notable rookie season performance
A complete game victory
Two prominent MLB pitchers
Clean eye appeal with no detachment
Collectors of:
San Francisco Giants memorabilia
1970s baseball ticket stubs
John Montefusco rookie-era items
JR Richard memorabilia
Complete game historic performances
…will immediately recognize how seldom these surface.
The ticket hobby continues to gain momentum, particularly for:
Rookie-season game tickets
Significant pitching performances
