    I guess you have to trust the seller as to whether it's a game ball or practice ball.
    That's what the problem is with some NFL auction footballs. They're selling them as game used but there turning out to be practice or back up footballs.

    Re: Same SB49 Football.. 2 Different Auctions?

    My understanding is the ref puts the same mark on all the balls they encounter, whether its a number, or initials, or their own personal stamp. I've seen at least 5 footballs from the Saints/Colts SB 44 that had #19 marked to the right of Roger Goodell's signature.
    Here's 2 references of that, that I can find off hand.

    You would likely need to ask both action companies to take a picture of the ball laces under a black light just to verify that it falls under the category of either practice, game used, issued, or backup. You'll never 100% know without a photo match.
