Re: Game ball with "Provenance"
jdr3 - You are correct. From 66-69 the NFL used "The Duke" "Thorp" footballs. The labeling on the offered football looks to be late 1970's - 1980's era.
Just my opinion,

Re: Game ball with "Provenance"
That sounds like very "iffy" provenance. Especially for something that old That would be something that would highly depend on how far it gets bid up to if I were going to buy it.Leave a comment:

Re: Game ball with "Provenance"
There is no way this ball was used during his career since he only played from '66-69. The big NFL logo was not used until 1976.Leave a comment:

Re: Game ball with "Provenance"
Man, if that's real it's a beauty ! I'm trying to learn as much about game used footballs as I can. It seems tough to establish their authenticity if they come from a secondary source(like Ebay). I'm hoping this thread will shed new light on this subject. There was just another posting a few days ago i learned a lot from.Leave a comment:

Game ball with "Provenance"
The description says you will receive a copy of the letter from the player. I asked the seller if this was case and got this response.
Yes, that is right---I have couple of these balls but he only furnished one letter. Let me know if you have other questions. Have a good Christmas.
