1949 Frank Gifford NCAA Debut USC Navy Football Ticket Stub PSA 5 MK Pop 1/1

Only 2 PSA-graded examples known! Highest graded (PSA 5 MK) from Frank Gifford's legendary NCAA debut vs Navy on Sept. 24, 1949.

Own one of the most significant and elusive college football ticket stubs associated with Hall of Famer Frank Gifford.

This is an original September 24, 1949 football ticket stub from USC's 42-20 victory over Navy, marking Frank Gifford's NCAA debut for the Trojans. Gifford would go on to become one of the greatest all-around football players in history, earning induction into both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

PSA Population Rarity

• PSA 5 MK (Qualifier)
• Population: 1
• Only the second example of this ticket ever graded by PSA at the time of this listing.
• The only other graded example received a PSA 2, making this by far the finest certified example known.

The MK qualifier is solely due to a small "29" written in pencil on the reverse of the ticket. The front presents beautifully, and the overall eye appeal is exceptional. Without the pencil notation, this ticket would be an extraordinarily impressive survivor.

Outstanding Eye Appeal

For a football ticket from 1949, the condition is remarkable:

• Strong color
• Sharp printing
• Excellent centering
• Crisp edges and corners
• Exceptional preservation for a paper relic more than 75 years old

This is one of those vintage tickets that displays far better than its technical designation suggests.

Investment Quality Collectible

Frank Gifford debut material is exceptionally scarce, and surviving original ticket stubs from his first collegiate game almost never reach the market. Combined with its unmatched PSA standing, this represents a premier opportunity for collectors of:

• Frank Gifford memorabilia
• USC Trojans history
• Vintage NCAA football
• Hall of Fame collectibles
• Historic football ticket stubs
• PSA-graded sports tickets
• Investment-quality football memorabilia

A truly elite piece of football history that would be difficult—if not impossible—to upgrade.
