This certainly qualifies as a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia: an 18 1/2 lb. roll of unused Denver Nuggets tickets from the 1976-77 season. Attendance at Nuggets games was nothing to sneeze at in this their first season in the National Basketball Association after nine years as one of the ABA's flagship franchises but somehow or other there were several thousand unused tickets left over and here they are! There are thousands and they are all presumably in Nr-Mt condition since they are still unperforated and on the roll for Pete's sake. Hard (impossible?) to say how many thousands without unrolling the spool and we politely declined. The roll is as noted 18 1/2 lbs. and 9 inches in diameter with a 4-inch diameter center tube so roughly 2 1/2 inches from the spool to the edge. One layer amounts to about 50 tickets a figure that we realize would marginally decline as you moved toward the center. If you are able to figure out how many tickets are on this roll you are likely a math whiz of epic dimensions.
