1978 Aug 5 Pro Debut Earl Campbell Signed Football Ticket Certified PSA 5 DNA 10

UBER RARE TICKET FROM THE PROFESSIONAL DEBUT OF THE YELLOW ROSE!!

Offered is an extraordinary August 5, 1978 Houston Oilers vs. Denver Broncos football ticket stub, personally signed by Pro Football Hall of Famer Earl Campbell and graded PSA 5, with the autograph receiving a spectacular PSA/DNA 10!

This is not simply a signed football ticket — it documents a pivotal moment at the very beginning of The Tyler Rose's legendary NFL career.

Campbell was selected 1st overall in the 1978 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers and made his professional debut in this August 5, 1978 preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos at the Houston Astrodome. The Oilers fell to Denver 17-12.

Campbell would go on to have one of the greatest rookie seasons in NFL history, rushing for 1,450 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl, All-Pro and Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.

POPULATION: 1 OF 1 — ONLY ONE HIGHER

PSA 5 Ticket Grade
PSA/DNA 10 Autograph Grade
POP 1 OF 1
ONLY ONE EXAMPLE GRADED HIGHER

That population makes this an exceptionally scarce piece for an Earl Campbell, Houston Oilers, Houston Astrodome, NFL rookie, football ticket stub, or Hall of Fame collection.

The historical significance is outstanding:

• August 5, 1978 — Campbell's professional debut
• Houston Oilers vs. Denver Broncos
• Houston Astrodome
• Campbell was the #1 overall pick in the 1978 NFL Draft
• Signed by Earl Campbell
• PSA 5 ticket grade
• PSA/DNA 10 autograph grade
• Population 1/1 with only one higher
• Campbell went on to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 1991

For serious football collectors, game-used or game-issued historical tickets from a Hall of Famer's actual professional debut are extremely difficult to find, particularly with a high-grade authenticated autograph.

This is a true key-date Earl Campbell collectible and an outstanding piece of Houston Oilers and NFL history.

A remarkable combination of Hall of Fame player + professional debut + Houston Astrodome + vintage ticket + PSA/DNA 10 autograph + extreme population rarity.
