Mike Cole who was in attendance at the first basketball game that National Basketball Association icon Michael Jordan who back in 1984 played in his first basketball in Chicago managed somehow to keep the unused ticket intact after 38 years where he was able to collect a prize from Heritage Auctions of $468,000 dollars on Saturday.
Mike insists that he did not keep the unused ticket from the debut of the basketball icon when he played in his first game with the Chicago Bulls on October 26, 1984 at Chicago Stadium for money purposes but for the good memories seeing his favorite basketball team entertain him while was enrolled at Northwestern University.
After the government gets its fair share of the money that Mike earned, Mike intends to use the leftover money to improve the lives of his relatives and do some traveling in the near future.
The winner of the unused ticket prefers not to be known since he is not only a huge fan of the basketball icon, he wants to keep a moment of history in his possession that he paid for away from strangers who would like to steal it from him.

That is true since not everybody is a Michael Jordan fan.

The buyer who possesses the ticket of Michael Jordan's debut game knows that he is a target for a thief to steal the ticket and try to sell it himself to another dealer.

That is true since some items that I used to own were either given away to a charity or thrown away.

I know what you mean since people are willing to spend so much money on an an unused ticket to a basketball game when Michael Jordan was a rookie.

That is true since most items that I have collected in the past like the "Rocky Balboa" books were donated to a charity after a few years.

"$468.000" Did you mean to put a period after the 8 or should it have been a comma?

That is what I was thinking that an unused ticket when Michael Jordan made his NBA debut is worth that amount of money.
