Pre-Super Bowl NFL Championship Game Ticket Stubs

Before the Super Bowl: The NFL Championship Game

Before the first Super Bowl in 1967, the NFL Championship Game was the sport's ultimate prize. Played annually since 1933, these games decided the league champion in an era of leather helmets, muddy fields, and some of the toughest athletes to ever play the game. Ticket stubs from pre-Super Bowl championship games are rare, historic, and increasingly valuable.

The Most Valuable Championship Game Stubs

The 1958 NFL Championship Game — often called "The Greatest Game Ever Played" — between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants at Yankee Stadium is the most famous pre-Super Bowl championship. It was the first sudden-death overtime game in NFL history and is credited with making football America's sport. Stubs from this game command premium prices.

The 1967 NFL Championship Game (the Ice Bowl) and the 1960 Championship (which launched Vince Lombardi's Packers dynasty) are other top-tier stubs. Pre-1950 championship stubs are exceptionally rare and valuable regardless of the specific matchup.

Scarcity and Value

Pre-Super Bowl championship stubs are scarce for obvious reasons — they're old, many have been lost to time, and the football memorabilia market didn't develop until decades after these games were played. Even stubs in poor condition from championship games before 1960 can carry significant value.
