The Vikings football was presented to Mick Giulaini.

As I started collecting these styles of footballs, I've discovered that some teams will present an actual game ball to a fan, coach and players. As an example, the Philadelphia Eagles every year will give out one (1) game ball to an employee of the year.

Speaking of the Eagles, at the end of yesterday's game, I noticed four (4) fans leaving the game with actual game balls.

Hello B1SON, This is a great looking football! If you ever consider selling this Nelson ball, I would be very interested in buying it. Thank you for posting it. Take care and Happy New Year!

I will keep it in mind, but my collection is so small and specific, I don't ever see it happening. Also, if you ever come across any Nelson game used items please let me know, I'd love a jersey! Thanks.

Re: I love these Old Painted Game Balls

Here are 2 game ball that I got from Lionel James. The Chargers vs Lions was his first start and the Bengal ball was his first 100 yard game. As you can see they have no air in them, that is the problem for me in collecting footballs.
The XFL ball was used in the first XFL game played in Birmingham, where he was running back coach.

The few players that I know value the game balls and team awards more that their jerseys. Helmets seem to be next on their list.

WOW! That ball finsihed at almost $300. I guess I got a steal on mine for $80 delivered. I had no idea they sold for so much. Anyone care to put a potential value on mine just for curiosity sake?
