WILSON Autograph Footballs

The Wilson NFL Autograph Football is the highest quality autograph (white panel) football on the market. Don't be fooled by fancier footballs with embroidered logos. After years of seeking signatures, this item is the best white panel ball money can buy.Pros:+ Straight and even stitching along the seams; the panels come together cleanly+ 3 panels for signatures; plenty of room for multiple players+ These panels take (and retain) black Sharpie markers much better than any other white panel ball+ The football is the perfect size for off-the-shelf display cases; Ultra Pro and BallQube cases work the best+ Amazon price; At the time of purchase, this ball is about 50% less than what Sports Authority is chargingCons:- White panels need a fresh, thick, wet Sharpie for signing; Sharpie signatures fade (turn purple on the edges) with a light signature- Ball point pen signatures fade quickly- Paint markers take a few days to fully cure and dry on the ball- The panel surfaces are very slick; handle with care, these footballs are VERY easy to drop and scratchTips:> Wipe the ball surface clean with a damp microfiber cloth before the autograph; this will remove impurities and gloss from the surface> If you have the patience, use an oil-based paint marker (DecoColor) for single signatures ; HANDLE WITH CARE. It takes a few days for the paint to fully cure on the slick white panels. Paint lasts much longer than a Sharpie> When displaying, keep the ball out of direct sunlight in a UV protected case> If you're obtaining a high-profile player's signature, you may want to seek another ball. Again, the quality of this item is very high, but an official NFL "Duke" football signed with a medium-tip silver DecoColor paint marker yields higher resale values.In closing, if you're looking for a white panel ball, look no further. This is the perfect intersection of quality and value. Understand that Sharpie's may not be "permanent" (as described on the marker's label) and make a decision based off of your investment level.For casual autograph collectors, this ball will exceed expectations.

As advertised, great buy! I bought four balls and was very pleased at the beauty of these balls. I went to Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame week and had all them autographed. Looking at venders at Canton, I couldn't find any similar mini sized balls that looked as nice as these. These balls are good sized. I had several people ask where I got them. Definitely a great buy and highly recommended for autographs if you don't want to send a fortune on footballs.

Exactly what I needed for a great autograph.

These footballs are of high quality. We purchase around 30 of them each year. It can sometimes be difficult to find a location with that many on hand at one time. I love that I can always find them in bulk here. Unfortunately, the price is really increasing fast!

Took this to Steelers training camp and it was great. The first day I brought a Terrible Towel and some signed, but most passed by as there are hundreds of people trying to get autographs. The second day I brought this and almost everyone signing stopped to sign because it stood out and was easier for them to sign. Sharpies work well on it and even with players' sweat dripping as they signed, the autographs came out great. Easy for them to sign and easy for me to see. Will treasure this for years to come and will purchase another for any future signings. Also, the deal here was much better than you'll find at most local sporting goods stores.

These footballs arrived quickly and were the perfect size for ring bearer gifts. We ended up personalizing them with vinyl decals and gave them as gifts for a wedding. The boys absolutely loved playing with them and the white portion of the football worked nicely for personalization. Would recommend them to other people looking for a unique gift for their ring bearers. We simply used a Silhouette Cameo machine to cut out permanent vinyl and then transferred the names and wedding date to the ball as shown in the picture below.It should be noted that the white side that also touches the laces of the ball is not completely blank. There is letting there and also has a valve for airing it up. This may be an issue if you are taking this to be signed by a lot of members of a team. The product was well packaged and easy to open. The kids broke them out immediately after receiving them as a gift and had a blast. The size was just right for their ages (4-10) and provided a lot of entertainment.

My son recently received a scholarship to punt at an out of state D1 college. Since he has worked so hard for this and will be leaving this week for college, we decided to throw him a going away party. I wanted something for our guests to write good-bye wishes to him on his future endeavor. This football was perfect! I sat it up on a table with a sign "autographs for the football star" with a sharpie. There is plenty of "white" area for the signatures. It's made of great quality and will last a lifetime. This particular football will be filled with memories that he can treasure for a lifetime. Whether you are getting signatures of your favorite football stars of like us getting signatures/well wishes from friends and family, this is definitely a perfect fit.

Good size for autographs. We used it for my sons birthday party. Had about thirty guest and there was plenty of room. Everyone loved it and loved the idea it was a big hit! My son has it displayed in his room now as a memory from his double digits birthday party! The big 10! Highly recommend. Good quality for the price.
