What Does It Take to Be Like Mike? 1,264 Ticket Stubs

He didn’t have to be there: Andrew Goldberg is trying to collect ticket stubs from each of Michael Jordan’s regular-season, playoff and All-Star Games.

As the planet’s pre-eminent collector of a very specific type of basketball memorabilia, Andrew Goldberg scans the internet and works the phones. He has spent six years tending to a spreadsheet that details the items that are in his possession, and he has a network of industry sources who alert him whenever they come across something he may need. The magic happens at garage sales, on eBay and in dusty attics. “I’ve enjoyed the hunt,” Goldberg said. “I don’t know if anyone can dispute the claim that I may have the largest Michael Jordan ticket-stub collection in the world.”
