Exceptional full and intact ticket from the historic opening game of the 1972 Canada-Russia Series at the Montreal Forum. When Phil Esposito scored shortly after the opening faceoff, well, the rout was on and the Canadian pros were going to show the so-called "amateurs" a thing or two. You know the rest of the story as the U.S.S.R. overcame an early 2-0 deficit to tie it before the end of the first on their way to a shocking 7-3 win on September 2nd, 1972 that changed the game forever. This incredibly rare Summit Series ticket exhibits some creasing and it is glued to its red matte background. Game 1 tickets are rare enough; a full ticket is exceptional because Forum ticket takers would typically return a short stub to the patron after tearing the ticket.
