Offered here is a Super Bowl I ticket
stub from the very first Super Bowl featuring the Green Bay Packers and
Kansas City Chiefs from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January 15, 1967.
In June of 1966, the NFL and AFL announced a merger resulting initially in
the creation of a title game between the two league champions at the end
of the '66 season. The Packers launched the Super Bowl series by
whipping the AFL champion Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10, behind the passing
of Bart Starr, the receiving of Max McGee, and a key interception by
All-Pro safety Willie Wood. Vince Lombardi's repeating NFL champions
broke open the game with three second-half touchdowns. Starr completed
16 of 23 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns and was chosen as the
game's Most Valuable Player. The Packers collected $15,000 per player
and the Chiefs $7,500 apiece--the largest single-game shares in the
history of team sports at the time.
This stub is graded by PSA EX-MT 6, making it the second highest rated stub known to exist. Only one inaugural stub is graded higher, according to PSA's pop report, and this is the only EX-MT 6 example. Slightly rounded corners and a somewhat off-center back are really the only blemishes to speak of. Bold print, strong colors and even perforation on the bottom give it a very attractive appearance.
