Game used ball from the December 12, 1964, NFL Eastern Conference Championship clincher between the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants. Originating from the personal collection of Cleveland's star quarterback Frank Ryan, roughly 30+ signatures are evident and wile many are difficult to read, we can definitely see Art Modell and Jim Brown. Official Wilson NFL (Rozelle) ball has a hand painted panel with an elfin Brown stiff-arming the hapless Giants player, fitting, as the ball indicates that the Browns romped to a 52-20 victory en route to winning that season's NFL Championship. While the ball currently does not hold air, it was Ryan who took the wind out of the Giants at Yankee Stadium, accounting for six touchdowns overall; five passing and one via a 13-yard scamper. In all, Ryan was near-perfect on the afternoon, completing 12-of-13 for 202 yards. Sourced from Ryan's family.
