Packers franchise certificate won in auction: Priceless
A link to the Packers' inception as a community-owned team
In an auction where a 1996 Brett Favre Player of the Year Trophy went for $40,000-plus and game-worn jerseys by Favre and Aaron Rodgers sold for more than $20,000, a yellowed, heavy-stock, 13½-by-16-inch piece of paper was almost certainly the steal of the Super Bowl LI live auction held in Houston Feb. 4.
In fact, strictly from a historical standpoint, it might be the most valuable piece of Green Bay Packers memorabilia ever sold. At least it’s hard to imagine there being any other document or artifact that better symbolizes what this storied franchise is all about.
