These five framed newspapers and four full unused tickets are from games in which baseball's greats broke the records that made them famous. The first game featured is the game in which Hank Aaron hit home run #715 to break the career record, and this is marked by the next day's Daily News with a blue Sharpie autograph that rates a 9. The next game, Pete Rose got his 4,192nd career hit, marked by a near mint full ticket and the Daily News from the next day. The blue Sharpie autographs rates a 9 on the ticket and an 8 on the newspaper. Nolan Ryan's 5000-strikeout game is marked by a near mint autographed full ticket and an autographed Fort Worth Star-Telegram from the next day. The black Sharpie ticket autograph rates a 9 and the blue Sharpie newspaper autograph is a near 10. The other Nolan Ryan game is his 7th no-hitter, marked by a full ticket signed in blue and a Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper signed in silver. Both autographs are 9s. The final game is Cal Ripken's 2131st consecutive game played, marked by a near mint to mint full unsigned ticket and a signed Baltimore Sun with a black Sharpie autograph that rates an 8.
