The first AFL-NFL World Championship game held on January 15 1967 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was played as part of a new peace made between the two rival leagues. For just $12 you could have secured a reserved seat for the game between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt is credited with dubbing it the "Super Bowl" reportedly after bouncing his child's Superball. Anticipation for the landmark event was less than super however and the game failed to sell out. The contest saw Vince Lombardi's Packers manhandle the Chiefs in a 35-10 victory. It wasn't until Super Bowl III on January 12 1969 that the football world would be turned upside down as "Broadway" Joe Namath's New York Jets stunned the Baltimore Colts 16-7. With parity on the field the NFL-AFL merger gave the Super Bowl a status in modern American culture that surpassed even the World Series. It is the most eagerly anticipated most expensive and most watched event in sports. This near-complete anthology of original full Super Bowl tickets celebrates many unforgettable moments provided by the likes of Namath Bradshaw Staubach Cszonka Swann Montana Brady and others. Some high-grade examples are present as well as particularly tough specimens from Super Bowls I IV VI and VII (scarce proof).
