Legit? I've searched auctions.seahawks.com and couldn't find this... It looks like a nice piece.

What is the 12 for? And I don't think the photos in the listing are photo-matches.

12 is for the 12s aka the 12th man.

I guess it seems ok, not sure why the twelfth man comes into a presentation ball, but whatever.

You don't know much about the Seahawks do you? The 12 is EVERYWHERE here.

And while I think that ball is cool I can't imagine why Russell would get rid of it and if he did I bet he would donate it to an auction and this guy would have better proof than "I got it as a gift."

This guy has been selling presentation balls and game used for quite some time. Some questionable some possible legit. He's got a couple from some big games. Don't see why the players don't keep them and how he ends up getting them?
He used to have a lot of GU footballs, but for some reason the date codes on the football were always scratched off 😳 making it hard to date the year the ball was issued. And most of what he had to sell had the refs stamp made from a sharpie which is easy to duplicate.

I know all about the 12th man. I just don't know how it gets onto a presentation game all to a player. Just seems odd.

Aslo, the presentation game balls for Seattle are no longer PAINTER.
They are printed.
The cert is easily faked. Why is Connie doing the cert?
She runs the community outreach program.
I've been given two VMAC tours by her.


And speaking of her, she's the one that informed me that hey now use a company that makes a sticker, and it's applied to the ball.............
I wanted to turn one of mine into a presentation ball, and didn't think I could paint it good enough. So I did research and saw they were no longer painted and asked her where they had them done. They (her) also had some made for the Seahawks 12k awards. Same balls, she had them made.

My friend Tracey has finished 3rd in her AG and has one.....

Here's my experience with this seller...

Prior to this thread starting, I was contacted by the seller through ebay. (I had placed a bid on one of her "game used" balls and was outbid.) She stated that she had a couple more game used Patriots balls and would be listing them soon. I inquired what she had and asked for prices. She said she had another game used ball, as well as a Tom Brady presentation ball from 1/10/15. The presentation ball looked cool and had a Patriots team letter (I looked and found many Patriots items with the same type letter). This game was pretty significant, due to Brady passing Montana as the all-time playoff TD leader, the game's role leading up to deflategate, etc.
We eventually agreed on a price of $2000. I figured, team letter, good buyer feedback on other game balls and presentation balls, why not. After sending the money via paypal, off ebay, to a lady named Wanda Camacho, this thread gains steam. I send the link to this discussion to her and asked for a thorough explanation or my immediate money back. Here is the response I got...

"Good evening. I hope you are well. It was a simple situation. I purchased the bat through ebay. the person who sold me the bat told me it was game used. As stated before, I am not a collector. I could did not know the bat was not authentic, as I was led to believe. I have told numerous people this, contacted ebay as well. If you are not 100% comfortable, I will simply refund your money. That was my mistake, I did not know the difference, now I do know how to tell if a Jeter bat is a replica or not. I appreciate your time. I will simply refund your money. As stated before, I feel that I undersold the ball at 2K and feel that I can get more.

She clearly didn't bother to click on the thread and just saw it was GUU related. I'm not sure why she started talking about the Jeter bat. I found the discussion on here though http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ght=jeter+ebay. I will say, I did immediately get my money back, got lucky. This person does appear to have 2 ebay accounts, both referenced in this thread. Both have sold presentation balls all of which have the same handwriting. One of the accounts also sells painted skulls with NFL logos. Anyways... I dodged a bullet, I think. Huge THANKS to you guys. If you have had interactions with this person and need additional information from me, please email me at dougiedshow@aol.com. I will assist in any way I can.
