Bills fan finds a playoff ticket in an unexpected place

John Stobnicki is a huge Bills fan who's geeking-out over a Bills 90s Starter Jacket his cousin bought for him for only $10 at Amvets Thrift Store on Elmwood in Buffalo. 

"These things were going for about $200 when I was a kid in grade school. It was the thing to have. All the kids who had the were the cool kids. I didn't have one," Stobnicki said. 

The West Seneca man said it was what his cousin found inside the jacket pocket that really threw him for a loop. 

"Wouldn't be out of the ordinary to have a ticket stub in it. But, he said it's a playoff ticket stub and i said, that's that's too coincidental," Stobnicki said. 

It was an old Bills playoff ticket stub for a level 100 seat for $30. 

"I think it was a season ticket holder ticket, because the opponent says TBA. So they must of clinched and they must of sold the tickets before then," Stobnicki said. 

Stobnicki said 2018 has already been a great year. 

"My kid being born this year, that happening, with the playoff ticket inside the pocket it's just insane," Stobnicki said. 

Proving that one fan's trash could be another fan's treasure.
