A piece of Green Bay Packers history fetches a high price at auction.
A certificate from the team’s very first stock sale in 1923 sells for over $64,000. Belonging originally to W. R. Whittenberg, the certificate was for 20 shares of stock and would have cost Whittenburg 100 dollars. Those shares were sold to keep the newly formed team afloat, and originally raised 55-hundred dollars.
There have been 5 more sales of shares since then. The auction was handled by Heritage Auctions, and the new owner was not named.
