Collection of 16 ticket stubs from the XXIII Olympiad, each 6 x 2.75, two for the opening ceremony on July 28th, two for the closing ceremony on August 12th, and a group of 12 ticket stubs for the six matches by the American women’s field hockey team, dated between August 1st and 10th, ten of which are issued to “USOC-Athletes.” The final match, on the 10th, was a play-off with Australia to determine who would earn bronze; as the teams finished on equal points, a shoot-out was contested to determine third place, with Team USA making all 10 of their shots and Australia making only 5. Also included with the lot is a field hockey ball signed in black felt tip by the entire bronze medal-winning American women’s field hockey team. In overall fine condition, with fading to some of the signatures on the ball; several of the tickets bear affixed Team USA 13-cent stamps.
From the personal collection of Diane Moyer, a goalkeeper for the Team USA women’s field hockey team that won a bronze medal at the Los Angeles 1984 Summer Olympics.
