It’s not quite as lucrative as winning the Powerball, but Tim Horton of Oklahoma and a Green Bay area couple still hit the jackpot recently after finding some vintage Packers memorabilia that will fetch thousands at auction next month.
The items include one of the earliest worn Packers helmets known to exist and the oldest Packers ticket to hit the auction block from a game played almost 100 years ago.
Both will be made available by Heritage Auctions, a Texas company, in its Platinum Night Auction on Feb. 20-21.
The ticket and program from the 1924 game are expected to go for more than $10,000 and the helmet for as much as $20,000.
