Older Team Footballs

[ousooner_85]

Has anyone ever had older team signed footballs restored? I have several from the 70's that I would like to display but due to their shape (won't hold air, bladder shot, valve missing, etc.)

Anyone have any experiences or recommendations?

Any suggestions?

Thanks Jason.....the link is dead for the contact person. Do know if the original poster still an active member?

My pleasure. I didn't realize that the link was broken. Another thread exists here:

The website referenced is (I believe) here:

Good luck!

Wilson will replace the bladder for $20, return shipping included. The big issue is the laces, they cut the old ones and put new ones on.

Thanks for the input guys! I'll look into both.

NEFAN - Do you know if Wilson does any brand of football? Do you have a link or contact for them? I looked on the website, sent an email and called but haven't had a response.
Thanks
