High Grade 1967 Green Bay Packers "Super Bowl" II Champion team-signed football is as nice as we have seen. A total of 29 autographs in blue pen cover two panels of this customized presentational NFL The Duke (Rozelle) football, which has "GREEN BAY PACKERS" and "SUPER WORLDS CHAMPS (sic) 1967" on either side of the main manufacturer's stamp. The name is significant in that the actual term "Super Bowl" wasn't coined until the following season, thus the first two were referred to as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. Legendary coach Vince Lombardi has perhaps the biggest and boldest signature front-and-center (grading 9+/10), with others including Hall of Famers Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Willie Davis, Forrest Gregg, and Herb Adderly, and more among the highlights. Ball remains in NM-MT condition but is slightly deflated and we are unsure as to whether it still holds air; signatures (aside from Lombardi) average a solid 8/10. The American Football League was considered the fledgling upstart to the venerable National Football League when the two began meeting for the championship, and the Packers did little to dispel that notion, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10, in what is considered Super Bowl I, and following it up with a 33-14 triumph over the Oakland Raiders in the year in which this ball was signed. It wasn't until Super Bowl III when the New York Jets stunned the heavily-favored Baltimore Colts - credited to leading to the merger of the two into the current NFL - and the AFL/AFC entries proceeded to win 11 of the next 13 "Big Games" after the Pack signed this prize.  Comes with PSA LOA.
