1997 ROSE BOWL Wilson Game Ball Autographed Joe Germaine, John Cooper Coach, DS

Description

This is a custom-made Wilson AFCA 1001 NCAA Football by Wilson in Ada, OH exclusively for the 1997 Rose Bowl Ohio State Buckeyes and
Arizona
State
Sun
Devils teams
-
the two teams that played
in the incredible Rose Bowl match up in January 1997. Etched into leather are the teams "Ohio State" & "Arizona State", the final score and the Rose Bowl Logo.
What makes this ball even more unique are the (3) autographs from Ohio State
Head Coach
John Cooper
,
Starting QB
John Germaine
and
WR
Dimitrious Stanley
. I
received
this item directly from a large and well-respected sports collector who had this football safely stored in his personal collection. The ball itself is still in great condition - the autographs are legible, the ball holds air, laces are fine and the logos and writing etched on the ball still look incredible. I've been collecting sports
memorabilia
for quite some time and I don't ever recall coming across this type of item (from any Rose Bowl) before.
Please don't hesitate to contact me to ask questions or to request further pictures.
Ships w/ care via USPS Priority Mail
Good Luck!
I've been a hobby collector of sports
memorabilia
for several years and only recently started to list some of my items. I'm always interested in buying/selling/trading or simply talking about sports
memorabilia
items in general. I especially enjoy the character of game used
memorabilia
- items that are
TRULY
one of a kind and can't be found anywhere except on the field. I stand behind what I list and try to be as fair as I can in terms of pricing, shipping and by offering a return policy. Always feel free to contact me to ask questions - some of the items I offer come with a pretty
unique
story behind them.
