Detailed Condition & Flaw Report: This item is explicitly sold as-is. please read the following structural details carefully before purchasing:

• Overall Condition: This 80+ year-old paper item is in good Used Condition, retaining sharp ink contrast and crisp lines.

• Creases: The cardstock sits notably flat, crisp, and stiff, completely avoiding any deep, heavy vertical or horizontal center folds or crushing often found on handled ticket stubs.

• Edges & Corners: The left margin features a rough, uneven hand-tear where the gate attendant separated the stub at the entrance, displaying expected edge fraying and minor uneven paper loss along that boundary. The remaining three edges are straight and clean. The right corners show very minor, superficial softening but remain quite square, while a tiny speck of foxing/handling soil is visible near the top right edge.

• Surface & Markings: The front face features beautiful, intricate green guilloché security patterns with a sharp illustration of a football player overlaying a stylized "V" for victory motif. The typography is bold and perfectly clear, including the seating details for Tunnel 3, Row 31, and Seat 8 stamped in deep green and red inks. The face shows clean, minimal age-toning and is completely free of ink pen signatures or pencil notations. The manufacturer mark "Jeffries Banknote Co., Los Angeles" is cleanly printed along the inner border line. There is a single, small, isolated light brown vintage age spot located on the white cardstock just left of the word "TUNNEL" on the front.

• Reverse Side: The back of the stub features a complete, light blue illustrative stadium map of the Rose Bowl, Brookside Park, and surrounding Pasadena roadways alongside the standard legal disclaimer text block. The printed map is fully legible and clear. The back surface exhibits uniform vintage paper aging and minor faint handling specks, but is free of heavy adhesive stains, paper skinning, or glue remnants from historical album mounting.
