1994 NFL QB Club Autographed Football
by David
Please point me in the right direction. I can't find anyone locally that can help so I stumbled upon your website. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and recently went to a family dance that my wife's parents invited us to. I never bid on silent auctions because I'm a school teacher with three kids and I don't have a lot of money to throw around. Anyway, they had this football up for bid and I landed it. I know it has to be worth more than what I bid on it. Apparently, The Quarterback Club met in Jacksonville in 1994 and 1995 and someone bought it there. I have two questions really. How to get it appraised and will this letter from the Jacksonville Sports Development Authority be enough for a “certificate of authenticity”. You can tell that the letter is old and from that date but unfortunately it's not signed by someone of that organization. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! The ball has twenty one signatures from former quarterbacks and / or coaches. Some of them have passed away. Hopefully, my research is accurate - Tom Landry (born 1924 -- died 2000) (Dallas Cowboys Head Coach won two Super Bowls) Don Shula (Miami Dolphins Head Coach won two Super Bowls and the only undefeated NFL season in 1972) Charlie Conerly (born 1921 -- died 1996) (National QB Club Hall of Fame Inductee. He fought as a Marine in the Battle of Guam during World War II and then came back to lead Ole Miss to their first SEC title in 1947. Two time Pro Bowl selection 1950 - 1956 and MVP in 1959. Led the Giants to three NFL Championships 1956, 1958 -- 1959. He also played the Marlboro Man in commercials after the NFL). Marty Schottenheimer (Head Coach of Browns, Chiefs, Redskins, and Chargers) Jim Plunkett (Heisman Trophy and won two Super Bowls with the Raiders) Pat Summerall (Sportscaster with John Madden) Neil O'Donnell (Steelers, Jets, Bengals, and Titans) Jim Harbaugh (Bears, Colts, Ravens, Chargers, now Head Coach for 49ers) Sean Salisbury (former ESPN analyst. Played for Seahawks, Colts, Vikings, Oilers, and Chargers) Steve Walsh (Miami Hurricanes -- 23 -- 1 record over two seasons and won the National Championship in 1987. Played for Cowboys, Saints, Bears, Rams, Bucs, and Colts) Gino Torreta (Miami Hurricanes -- Heisman Trophy 1992 and won two college National Championships 1989 and 1191. Played for Vikings, Lions, 49ers, Seahawks, and Colts) Casey Weldon (Florida State University -- Runner up to Heisman Trophy in 1991. Played for Eagles, Bucs, Chargers, and Redskins) Shane Matthews (Florida Gators -- won first SEC title 1991 and played for Bears, Panthers, Redskins, Bengals, Bills, and Dolphins) Josh Booty (National High School QB of the Year. LSU and played for Seahawks, Browns, and the Raiders. He also played Major League Baseball and won the 1997 World Series with the Florida Marlins) Bill Nelson (not the Senator.......USC -- split time with another QB to win the National Championship in 1962. Played for the Browns and Steelers). Browning Nagle (Jets, Colts, and Falcons) Cary Conklin (Redskins and 49ers) Scott Zolak (Patriots, Jets, and Dolphins) Todd Philcox (Bengals, Browns, Bucs, Jaguars, Chargers, and Patriots) Mike Pagel (Colts, Browns, and L.A. Rams). Tim Alexander (Florida High School Quarterback of the Year. Played at Oregon State) Rob: David, That is a great piece of NFL and Florida quarterback history, and loaded with what appears to be a lot of great signatures. In terms of getting it appraised, I would contact a reputable third-party sports authenticator such as PSA/DNA or James Spence. I believe they can give you an opinion via email, or you can also send it in for a more in-depth forensic analysis. See my Sports Memorabilia Appraisal page for additional info. Good luck!
