I have a few ticket stubs from 1970 where the price was $4. I have some older ones that are $2 for General Admission.

This is a portion of my Marino card collection. Several hundred Marino cards, including duplicates, with 12 rookie cards and two autographed cards. I stopped collecting about 10-15 years ago. Got a bunch of old Czonkas and Buonicontis, but obviously Marino was always my favorite.
I remember $4 in the west end zone in the late '60s and extending to 1970 before the team improved dramatically and the ticket prices rose. I remember that price hike being a big deal at the time, and it was in terms of raw percentage, but you can see from the stubs I uploaded that in terms of final price it still seems silly low.
We would enter that end zone but relocate wherever we wanted. And I do remember some $2 ticket prices but I think the version I remember was kids only and some type of promotion from McArthur Dairy. Maybe Publix. Some popular local company.
Nothing translates five decades later. We parked smack across the street from the Orange Bowl at a brand new gas station for the Jets/Colts Super Bowl in January 1969 and my dad was outraged at the $4 fee for parking. He steamed about that during the short walk to the stadium, and long after we arrived at our seats. The game tickets were $15.

I'm pretty sure the oldest piece of Dolphins memorabilia I have is a gym bag my mom got for me in about 1976. It still has the old logo on it. Now I'm going to have to dig that out of my parents' attic!

Circa 1993/1994 Dolphins hat signed by Irving Fryar. I used to wear that hat quite a bit but once it was signed I rarely ever wear it. Not like Fryar was Jerry Rice but still cool to have something signed by a player.

Took some pics of a few things. If this thread sticks around I'll post some more.
This is my favorite item. Picked it up a yard sale for $10, its a 1972 OBR whiskey decanter.
The Dr. Pepper bottle.
A 70's Avon decanter still w/ original cologne lol, 2 cans from the 70's.

Coffee mug from the early 80's where the handle is the facemask.
Daytona, that's the exact wall plaque I have, the one I mentioned early in this thread, the one we used the plastic label maker to write, "1972-73 17-0 Super Bowl Champs"
Mine isn't upside down
Lamp with original dolphins helmet....have the alarm clock too!
I can assure you it isn't upside down on my wall
For some reason I couldn't get the site server to place it correctly despite numerous attempts on my end. Love that plaque though, it represents our heritage well.
Man that game. My first MAJOR disappointment. I was so sure we'd be back....like every year. Haven't even sniffed one since.
