Apparatus for counting and endorsing documents and more particularly tickets dimensioned within the preferred range from 1 inch by 2 inches to 2 inches by 5.5 inches and in the thickness range from 2 mils to 14 mils. The stack of tickets is placed in an in-feed hopper and is engaged by an eccentric bottom feed picker to drive preferably the bottom-most document toward a drive wheel and stripper wheel assembly to permit documents to pass only in single file beyond the stripper device. The documents are fed in single file between cooperating belts until they are picked up by acceleration means which abruptly accelerates the documents to provide a gap therebetween suitable for counting purposes.
