Wasn't really sure where to put this thread so here goes:

My aunt got the following football at a thrift store a few years ago and then gave it to me as a gift.

Is this anything more than a retail football? Or is it something better? Im not a football guy so I know nothing about this ball except for the face that it has the Pete Rozelle stamped signature.


Anybody have any thoughts?

This should say "fact" instead of "face"

It looks like a retail ball. All gamers in that era had the same letter, or code, on either side of the air valve beneath the Made in USA and Inflate to inscriptions. These letters look like a J and something else.
