Older Team Footballs

[ousooner_85]

Has anyone ever had older team signed footballs restored? I have several from the 70's that I would like to display but due to their shape (won't hold air, bladder shot, valve missing, etc.)

Anyone have any experiences or recommendations?

My pleasure. I didn't realize that the link was broken. Another thread exists here:

The website referenced is (I believe) here:

Good luck!

Wilson will replace the bladder for $20, return shipping included. The big issue is the laces, they cut the old ones and put new ones on.

Thanks for the input guys! I'll look into both.

NEFAN - Do you know if Wilson does any brand of football? Do you have a link or contact for them? I looked on the website, sent an email and called but haven't had a response.
Thanks
