Bills4life1924 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I posted these awhile ago. My father has 10 total, but just got these 2 graded. One is graded at 8/10, the other 6/10. He has them up for sale on ebay. He does plan to get more graded to sell, he only sent 2 to see how the process worked. Go bid or purchase, if it goes well he will send more out for authenticity asap! https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=buffalo+bill+tickets+comeback+game+&_trksid=p4432023.m4084.l1313 Edited February 27 by Bills4life1924 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweats Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Nice, but if you listen to us fans, EVERYBODY was at that game.....in fact, the last total i heard was about 500,000 people watched it....in an 80,000 capacity stadium, mind you. I'm gonna check these out on Ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Josh Allen autographed jerseys there for half that price. I get that it's rare for an unused ticket, but really should start the pricing at $100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the game.onlt cost $25 and already happened I concur Seriously though, $500 isn't crazy. Besides if it doesn't sell then they can always lower the price.

It wasn't that far off from a sellout as the stadium held 80,020 back then. We had a blackout of the game in the area where i lived....Ralph would never have bought up any remaining tickets (like out of the goodness of his heart or as a testament of how much he appreciated the fans?.....bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha). They wanted people to head to the stadium, forcing us to pay to watch and hence the blackout. Things like this don't happen too much these days, as there are wayyyyyyyyyyyy too many ways to watch the games, via streaming, illegal sites, etc.....the teams know they can't bully the fans anymore like they could in the old days and as much as i liked RW, he was half the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushypeaches Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I've kept the ticket stub in my wallet for most of the past 30 years. It's in significantly less than pristine condition... It is a great conversation piece though and I love to have it handy when I meet folks in bars or tailgating. And to this day, it's still the loudest, craziest crowd I've ever been a part of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy and I gave a guy a pack of cigarettes at halftime and and he let us through one the non fan gates. Some guy in a wheel chair was manning it. We walked in because we lived in EA and had nothing better to do and figured we could kill the afternoon at the stadium because it was a blowout. Turned into the greatest afternoon of my young adult life. Edited February 28 by blitzboy54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I was there with 3 other guys and we were this close to leaving at halftime. We decided to see how the 1st drive of the 2nd half would start and it ended up with the Bills throwing a pick-6 to fall even further behind. At that point, we said, "what the hell, we stayed through halftime, so we might as well stick it out." It was an unseasonably warm day for early January. Had the weather been anything like the last couple of Bills home playoff games, we likely would have bailed. I probably have my torn half of the ticket stub at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. If I find it, I'm happy to sell it to someone for a few hondo. Since the ticket was actually used, I think it has more value than some unused ticket. Put another way, not only was I there, but that ticket stub was there too! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills4life1924 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 (edited) Info on how these tickets were obtained.... My father drove limo as a 2nd job. He was supposed to drive to this game for his boss(the season ticket holder) and his group, but the owner cancelled the trip that morning. He would always give my dad everything the day before including the game tix. He never asked for them back and my father had tix ever since. If you are from the Herkimer/Utica area I'll be glad to share season ticket members name, to see if you know him. Also my dad is just getting back into cards after retirement and he deals with a guy from card shop. My father had no clue what to list these at let alone knows how to use ebay lol. The guy from card shop decided to start at the prices. Btw, my dad's a jets fan haha Edited February 27 by Bills4life1924 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I attended the game I think I'd be pretty interested in buying a pair to hang up in my basement but I was still pretty young then. Without it having the sentimental value to me I don't think I'd spend too much $$$ on them but it would be a cool piece of memorabilia to have. I do have the ticket stub of my first game I went to as a kid hanging up in the basement. Bills-Redskins 1996. Jim Kelly's last season. Darick Holmes ran wild that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is coming from a guy who spends his money on a lot of stupid *****. I’m with you. I like collecting music stuff, so so I get it. People will put a hefty price tag on things they love. I wouldn’t make fun of anyone for buying these, but the sentimental appeal of that game no longer exists for me. As you mention, it’s not the greatest comeback, and it was just the path to another losing Super Bowl. I think recent success has made me less sentimental about that game. I still treasure the Super Bowl appearances, but that game doesn’t mean as much for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'm a season ticket holder and we had tickets for this game. Unfortunately, there was an ice storm that morning (Elmira/Corning area) and it took an hour to drive 10 miles. We gave up and went home. If we had driven a other 5 miles, we found out later that it turned into just rain. At least we could see it on tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’m not a “collector”, and would never spend that much on an item, but if I were, and if I was interested, the thing about this item is that there’s ZERO identifying info on this ticket stub telling me exactly what game it was for. IOW, I just have to believe it was for that game. If I show this to 99.99% of the world's population, they will have no idea what game it’s from….it doesn’t even show the date or even the year!
