Stanley Cup Finals Ticket Stubs: What Are They Worth?

Lord Stanley's Stubs: A Value Guide

The Stanley Cup Finals determine hockey's champion, and ticket stubs from these games are the most valuable items in hockey memorabilia. The Cup has been awarded since 1893, though modern NHL playoff stubs as we know them date primarily from the 1920s onward.

Values by Era

Pre-expansion (before 1967) Stanley Cup Finals stubs from Original Six matchups are the most valuable, with prices ranging from $200-$2,000+ depending on the specific series and condition. The 1967-1990 expansion era stubs typically range from $50-$500, with dynasty-era Canadiens and Islanders stubs at the higher end. Modern Cup Finals stubs range from $30-$250, with Game 7 and clinching game stubs commanding the strongest prices.

The most valuable individual Stanley Cup stubs come from series featuring dramatic moments — Bobby Orr's flying goal (1970), the Islanders dynasty, and Gretzky-era Oilers championships. StubHaul specializes in evaluating hockey memorabilia across all eras.
