[Dewey2007]

Just saw that the Indianapolis Colts team store now has a limited quantity of game used footballs available from Super Bowl XLIV.
Here is the link:

I guess I shouldn't be shocked at the price, but man that is an expensive football!!

I'd be curious to know how many were used in the game...and a little confused that if they're going to get into the game-used biz why they don't state when the ball was used. Of course, if you can tie it to a certain play or series, you'd think it would have a better chance of selling.

The AFC/NFC championship game balls from the last couple of years that have sold via NFL Auctions went fairly reasonably, I thought, considering that some are truly one of a kind (like the kickoff balls they've sold).

"Limited Quantity's" my ass........I put it a quantity of 50, and it shows 34 available.....

That's some funny stuff right there......

I don't know how over 30 footballs were used in 1 game. Each ball must have been used less that 5 times.

I have NOT seen the totals for the number of footballs used in this year's Super Bowl but I believe in last year's game, they used a new football for every offensive snap.
