For most American sports fans there are few moments in sports history more dramatic important or memorable than the 1980 Olympic hockey "Miracle on Ice." In fact let's take one minute and watch it. Did you get goose bumps?The 1980 US Olympic ice hockey team made history winning the Gold Medal but also defeating a heavily-favored Soviet Union team. The Soviets who had won the hockey Gold in six of the seven previous years had beaten the Americans 10-3 in an exhibition just days before the opening ceremony on February 13 in Lake Placid NY. The Americans rallied however winning six games with one tie against the Bronze-winning Swedish team. While the penultimate US-Soviet game is the one most fans remember the final game against Finland clinched the gold for the States a 4-2 victory for the Americans. Presented here is a complete PSA-graded and authenticated collection of full tickets chronicling each of the seven American hockey games plus the Gold Medal Awards ceremony as well as the Opening and Closing ceremonies. It should be noted here that our consignor is the original submitter of these tickets to PSA who he instructed to assign numerical grades only in the event that the grade attained would be EX-MT 6 or better. Any ticket that would attain a grade below 6 he asked to simply be authenticated. It should not be assumed that any of the Authentic graded tickets have been altered in any way. All are full tickets. A complete breakdown of the set is as follows: February 12: USA 2 Sweden 2 - PSA EX-MT 6February 13: Opening Ceremony - PSA AUTHENTICFebruary 14: USA 7 Czechoslovakia 3 - PSA AUTHENTICFebruary 16: USA 5 Norway 1 - PSA EX-M
