In June 1966 the NFL and AFL announced they were merging after six years of war. The immediate result was the creation on a title game between the two champions in 1966. For the Packers a 1-point loss to the 49ers and a 3-point loss to the Vikings were the only thing that prevented them from a perfect season. Bart Starr was nearly flawless completing 62 percent of his passes with only three interceptions in being named NFL MVP. Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung began the final chapters of their storied careers. The defense ranked third in the league giving up just 17 touchdowns all season. They sacked enemy quarterbacks 47 times and intercepted 28 passes in what may have been the finest season in Packer history.
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 the game's most valuable player. The Packers collected $15000 per man and the Chiefs $7500 apiece - the largest single-game shares in the history of team sports at the time.
Offered here is an original full unused ticket to Super Bowl I. This Gold Variation ticket is very clean and presents beautifully both front and back. The main reason for the VG PSA 3 rating is corner wear and a light diagonal crease at the lower left side that does not break the front surface paper. A highly significant collectible from a landmark event in sports history.
LOA from Newport Sports Museum.
