Super Bowl Ticket Collecting Question

[futurechipper10]

Hi everyone. I'm looking to start collecting super bowl tickets from past years. After doing a little research, I noticed that many of the tickets have replica/ reproduction versions. Some look almost identical to the real ones. Do you look at the hologram on the back, print marks, etc?

I figured that someone in this forum collects super bowl tickets. What are some things to look out for when trying to avoid reproduction tickets? I know buying graded would be my best bet, but I'm not looking for high end psa copies. I just want it to be an authentic ticket.

Thanks for any information!

I don’t know much about this. I have one from XXXV that I attended and another with the stub attached from an earlier game that is for a seat that doesn’t even exist. I know that there are a bunch of ones that are printed on the actual ticket stock floating around that weren’t actual game tickets. I believe there are books on this subject with more info. Wish I could help more.

Appreciate the feedback. I know a lot of the recent ones have barcodes and holograms on the back of them. There has to be some specific things that psa looks for to determine authenticity. That's awesome you actually attended the Ravens Giants super bowl! I heard they give out replica tickets as souvenirs to workers and fans. So there are probably a lot of there.
