Title: 1942 Sugar Bowl Official Game Ticket Stub - Fordham Rams vs. Missouri Tigers - Professionally Certified PSA 6 MK (Pop 4) Historic 2-0 Mud Bowl Ephemera
Description: Elevate your sports registry archive with this incredibly rare, professionally graded 1942 Sugar Bowl game ticket stub. Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA as an EX-MT 6 MK (Population 4), this pre-war football artifact documents the legendary January 1, 1942, clash between the Fordham Rams and the Missouri Tigers at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans. Played under extraordinary historic conditions just weeks after America's entry into World War II, the game became legendary as the "Mud Bowl." In a freezing, torrential deluge that halted both offenses, Fordham secured a historic 2-0 victory via a first-quarter blocked punt safety—marking the lowest-scoring major bowl game in college football history. This certified stub features exceptional color retention, crisp typography, and an original gate-checked edge. The "MK" qualifier denotes a small, historic pencil or ink notation made by the original stadium attendee, adding an undeniable touch of New Year's Day 1942 provenance. This is an investment-grade, Pop 4 museum piece perfect for elite football historians, ticket registry collectors, or proud alumni of Fordham University and the University of Missouri.
