Despite Jim Fassel’s guarantee to make it to the Super Bowl, which he was actually able to follow through on, nothing could guarantee that the Giants could stand up to the overwhelming defense of the Baltimore Ravens. And the final score of 34-7 reflected that. Official “Super Bowl XXXV” (Tagliabu) football shows good use from this game of games, but its gold and black “SB XXXV” decal is completely intact. On the opposite side of the seams is the burned on lettering which reads, “National Football League - New York Giants vs. Baltimore Ravens - Tampa, Florida - January 28, 2001.” The authenticity of this game-used football is indisputable, as it was tagged before the Super Bowl with invisible DNA-laced ink, which can be verified by PSA/DNA using a special calibrated laser, as outlined in the included LOA from PSA.
