    When you collect Expos memorabilia, few things give you quite the same thrill as their opening games. The first home game at Parc Jarry. The first home game at the Big O. And, as far as I’m concerned, the ultimate one: a ticket from their very first game ever, against the New York Mets, on April 8, 1969.

    That particular ticket just found a place in my home, and I’m absolutely gobsmacked.

    Believe me, that’s not an easy feat.

    A little imperfection tells its
    own story.
