Wilson official NFL "The Duke" football signed in both black and blue ink by forty-five members of the 1963 Green Bay Packers. Accompanied by a full LOA from PSA/DNA, which has graded the signatures "7" overall. The signatures include those of Lombardi (head coach), Adderley, Aldridge, Austin (coach), Bengston (coach), Bratkowski, Carpenter, Cochrane (coach), Davis, Dowler, Fears (coach), Fleming, Forester, Gregg, Gremminger, Grimm, Gros, Hanner, Hecker, Henry, Holler, Iman, Jeter, Jordan, Kostelnick, J. Kramer, R. Kramer, Masters, McGee, Mestnick, Moore, Norton, Pitts, Ringo, Roach, Robinson, Skoronski, Starr,Taylor, Thurston, Whittenton, and Wood. (The signatures of both Paul Hornung and Ray Nitschke have been deemed "clubhouse" versions by PSA/DNA.) The ball, which displays a stamped commemoration of the club's 1961 and 1962 World Championships, displays a few light abrasions and is slightly deflated. In Very Good to Excellent condition overall. Early 1960s Green Bay Packers team-signed balls are scarce and always have been highly prized by collectors. This is the first 1963 example we have ever offered and we can only recall having seen one other at auction in the past ten years. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Reserve $500. Estimate (open).
