1997 Chicago Bulls NBA Playoffs Ticket Stub

This is an original ticket stub for a 1997 NBA Playoffs home game at the United Center, featuring the Chicago Bulls. The ticket is printed on vertical cardstock with a prominent yellow border. The top section displays seating information (Gate 7, Section 318, Row 11, Seat 3) and the official 1997 NBA Playoffs logo. The center denotes 'HOME GAME C' with a face value of $35.00 and the United Center logo. The bottom half features a high-quality graphic of the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy being hoisted by players, with the text 'WORLD CHAMPIONS 1991-1992-1993-1996' and 'CHICAGO BULLS' in gold foil lettering at the bottom. Material-wise, it is semi-glossy printed paper with perforated edges. Regarding condition, the ticket shows visible signs of handling, including a soft crease or slight bend at the bottom right corner and minor edge wear. The colors remain vibrant without significant fading. This artifact dates to Michael Jordan's fifth championship season, making it a significant piece of sports memorabilia from the 'Last Dance' era. The use of gold foil and multi-color printing indicates high production quality for the period.
