Description
1967 NFL Championship Game "The Ice Bowl" Full Proof Ticket w/Voucher, PSA Mint 9 - Single Highest Graded Example! Everything the Green Bay Packers franchise stands for can be summed up by three words: "The Ice Bowl." Also referred to as "The 1967 NFL Championship," this game was played in negative 48 degree wind chill temperatures, and has baffled onlookers as to how the players survived, not to mention how any team could concentrate enough to win the game. This historic contest took superior heart and determination, while coming down to a last-second quarterback sneak by the Packers' Bart Starr, which helped give Green Bay the win over the Dallas Cowboys, and propelled the team into their second straight Super Bowl appearance. In what would prove to be coach Vince Lombardi's final NFL Championship Game appearance, this game is commonly referred to as "One of the Greatest Games in NFL History."Offered here is the highest graded Ice Bowl full "Proof" ticket in existence, at a PSA Mint 9, and is the only known "Proof" ticket known with its original mailing voucher still intact. The only difference between a proof and game ticket is this example never made it to the printer to note the price, seat location, etc, and as a result this piece is considered a "Proof Ticket." Vibrant color, and sharp corners tell the tale on this historic gridiron treasure. Notably, a PSA NM-MT 8 Ice Bowl game ticket with its voucher still intact sold in our April 2010 auction for nearly $5,000. Without question, one of the most important tickets offered in our April Signature sale, this piece is sure to attract the most serious of collectors, who put scarcity and condition at the top of their lists.
