Football tickets gain value after the game, if a team emerges victorious or wins a title. Collectors who focus on individual players may seek out tickets from their most famous games. Others seek tickets from bowl games (Super Bowl, Rose Bowl), rivalry games, or a team's first game in a new city. An autograph will usually spike the value of a ticket greatly. Many collectors seek out unused tickets, which generally cost more.
