Classic Monday Night Football Ticket Stubs Worth Money

Under the Lights: Monday Night Football Collectibles

Monday Night Football debuted on ABC in 1970 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. For decades, MNF was appointment television, and the games played on Monday nights carried an extra level of intensity and significance. The ticket stubs from classic Monday Night Football games are an underappreciated corner of the football memorabilia market.

Classic MNF Games Worth Collecting

Certain Monday Night Football games have achieved legendary status. The first ever MNF game (Jets vs. Browns, September 21, 1970) is a historic marker whose stubs are genuinely collectible. Other notable MNF stubs include the "Miracle at the Meadowlands" games, the "Body Bag Game" (1990 Eagles-Redskins), and Brett Favre's emotional Monday night performance after his father's death.

The ABC era of Monday Night Football (1970-2005) is generally more collectible than the ESPN era due to nostalgia and the prime-time cultural significance the broadcast held during those decades.

Why MNF Stubs Are Undervalued

Many collectors focus on playoff and Super Bowl stubs, overlooking the regular season. This creates an opportunity for savvy collectors to acquire stubs from historically significant MNF games at reasonable prices. As the collecting market matures, the most memorable MNF game stubs are likely to appreciate. StubHaul buys MNF stubs from all eras — contact us for a free evaluation.
