+1. Not a ticket collector but from the scan I agree.

I found this online which would indicate that you have a "proof" and not an actual game ticket:


Williams, Welden and Lick of Arkansas, was the printer of the 1966 Tickets, but in 1967, for Super Bowl I, the contract was awarded to Dillingham Ticket Company in Los Angeles.

Williams, Welden and Lick had already printed out samples/proof tickets in hopes of winning the contract. That is what these tickets are. It has Williams, Welden and Lick on the back. The ticket is perforated at the stub area.

Most people do not know who that Dillinghan Ticket Company was the official printer as tickets are almost identical. The Dillingham ticket will set you back $7,000 to $10,000. Obviously, that one is way more desirable than this one.

Here's what the back looks like of the actual game ticket. Notice the printer's name on the bottom of the back.

Thanks guys, wanted to be sure. Any idea what the value of this "proof" ticket is?
