“Strait Out of the Box” Poster & Ticket Display from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Incl. Backstage Pass) – Signed by George Strait

To some Dennis Finfrock was simply the man with the handlebar mustache. But Finfrock helped take boxing in Las Vegas to the next level. As the MGM Grand’s VP of Special Events, Finfrock managed what boxing matches would come to the MGM and also brought in the Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand and countless other show stoppers to the area. After Mike Tyson was released from jail, it was Finfrock who inked him to a $20 million dollar deal which secured Iron Mike’s services at the MGM Grand.
In 1995 the Las Vegas Sun ranked the top 10 Las Vegas sports figures, Finfrock was the runaway choice at No. 1. He was placed above such notables as Bob Arum and Andre Agassi. Now battling Parkinson’s Disease, Finfrock has slowed down from his workaholic ways.
Each of the signatures or match-used mementos was obtained by Finfrock during his days working at the MGM Grand Garden. AMI is proud to present personal treasures from Finfrock’s collection. These have never been offered for public sale until now.

In 1995, George Strait had his highest certified album "Strait Out of the Box" which sold two million copies. From a tour event (Country Music Festival) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (2001) comes this poster signed by Strait in black felt tip ("9-10"). Included in the display is a backstage pass from the filming of "Pure Country" and three full tickets (two from LV Motor Speedway concert and one from "Pure Country" tour 1993 – unknown if tickets/pass are affixed to matte).  The entire display measures 17" x 24" with the poster 12" x 15".
