    EXTREMELY
    rare ticket from the

    From Wikipedia:
    The Washington Bears were an all-black
    professional basketball team of the 1940s.
    Sponsored by movie theater owner Abe Lichtman, the Bears played their home games at Turner's Arena in Washington D.C. Most of the team was composed of former New York Renaissance players, such as
    Pop Gates, Tarzan Cooper, Jackie Bethards, and John Isaacs
    . In 1943, the Bears achieved a 41-0 record and won the World Professional Basketball Tournament, defeating the Oshkosh All Stars in the championship game.
