Jack Nicklaus Signed 1962 US Open at Oakmont CC Season Grounds Full Unused Ticket #2726


The newly turned pro Jack Nicklaus and hometown favorite Arnold Palmer batted it out in a playoff, with Jack emerging in what appeared to be golf's David over Goliath result. The appropriate backdrop and historic setting of Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania was the main stage for two leading actors, who at the time were opposite in nearly every way.

The Jack Nicklaus signed FULL grounds ticket #2726 is offered here from the 2nd Tournament Day on June 15th and the contest that launched a lifelong friendly rivalry between Nicklaus and Palmer. Print is strong with the Oakmont squirrel on the blue front and a local paint company dark blue advertising on the verso, with a color match sharpie signature. For reference purposes we offered an unsigned ticket from this tournament's playoff round in out 2022 September Auction that received 29 bids and an achieved price of $6,039!

The ticket category was previously underappreciated in the sports memorabilia industry for many years, until a surge in prices only a couple years back seemingly caught up to its value. A full ticket from this historical event remains a challenge, signed examples even more difficult, with this being your opportunity to own one of the scant few examples that weren't turned into stubs in which carries the champion's timeless scribe. It remains in good condition, with a single diagonal crease, please examine the accompanying lot photos for a detailed report on this.
