here is a PSA EX 5 Gold Variation Full Unused Ticket to Super Bowl I
between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs played on January
15, 1967, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In June 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 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
$12 Reserved Seat ticket is crease-free and very clean front and
back, with well-defined print imaging on the front. The corners are quite sharp and edges very straight. The only blemishes that we can see are a tiny brown spot near the top right corner and a subtle surface scratch just above the blue AFL call-out. It appears to be graded harshly. With a
population of two and only seven gold fulls rated higher in the PSA
registry, this EX 5 example is certainly a rare gem and represents a
landmark event in sports history. Latest SMR update is $9,000 but we sold an EX 5 example last auction for just under $15,000.
