Super Bowl ticket (1977) help?

[Belfast1933]

I am helping a friend sell a number of vintage memorabilia items and included is a 1977 Super Bowl ticket stub (Raiders vs Vikings).

I’m not a ticket collector and there just isn’t much on Ebay sold other than a few ratty looking ones so it’s been hard to comp.

To experienced ticket collectors here, is there enough value to justify the cost and time to submit to PSA for grading? Any reliable sources of value that you can share?

I am still looking but thought some here might also have some advice - thx

I collect tickets, however Im mainly a vintage baseball ticket collector. Looking through a few auctions for 1977 Super Bowl tickets, in May of this year, a PSA 9 sold at Goldin for $134. This was a stub and not a full ticket. Another one sold for $540 in 2022 but that one was autographed by the MVP. I looked at the PSA pop count which is at 140+. Those are ones encapsulated by PSA, but many ticket collectors dont grade them, so I would assume there are another 150+ out there. In the ticket world, this is not a rare ticket. Rare would probably be something less than 10. I would also not consider it a scarce ticket. Therefore, if its PSA 9 quality, then $130-$150 may be a fair price, maybe a little higher in the right auction. If its worse quality, then the value at significantly less.

Also, during the 2007-2015 timeframe, there were some that sold on Heritage for $400-$600, PSA 8s and 9s. Looking at those prices compared to today, its likely the pop count significantly increased from then until now, pushing the ticket down in price since its quite "common", at least by definition in the ticket collecting world.

I'm curious how you arrive at a figure of 290 tickets for this game "out there"?

According to the interwebs, the game had a paid attendance of 103,438, so 99.7+% of them were thrown away?

In my post I didn’t arrive at 290. I arrived at 290+.
