1972 Nebraska Fascimile Signed Signature Team Football Cornhuskers *RARE*

Description

For sale is a VERY RARE 1972 facsimile signed Nebraska Cornhusker football.   These balls were called "signature editions" and were done to supply the need of collectors that wanted a team signed ball.  Nebraska had just come off back-to-back National Championships and demand for team signed balls was in extremely high demand.   By printing these balls, collectors could add a connection to the Husker team to their display cases.   Members of the team and coaching staff signed one ball, and it was duplicated for this purpose.  This is one of the printed survivors from nearly 50 years ago.
Based on the roster I believe this to be a 1972 ball, which is the earliest Nebraska team-printed ball that I have been able to find.  The tradition of printing the balls continued well into the 2000s, but the '72 is an extreme rarity.   I am looking to make more room for other items in the collection, so I am hoping this will go to someone that will appreciate it.   I have not tried to air it up, so I do not know if it will stay inflated.   It displays very well as is, and shows no major flaws.   Please review the pictures to see the wonderful condition.
I want to be clear that this is NOT an original team signed ball, but is instead a very rare football with printed signatures.
