An anonymous RE community donor is parting with an autographed football he has had for 40 years! The ball contains 25 signatures of players from the 1971 Miami Dolphins and includes Hall of Fame players Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, and Nick Buoniconti. It also includes the signatures of other Dolphin greats including Jim Kiick, Mercury Morris, Doug Anderson, Jake Scott, Earl Morrell, Bob Heinz, Vern Den Herder, Larry Seiple, Marv Fleming, Doug Swift, Howard Twilley, Bill Stanfill, Manny Fernandez, and more.

This four-panel ball (with three white-leather autographed panels) was given to the donor from someone who purchased it at a Dolphins charity auction. The donor was told that the initials "LC" near the laces indicate that Larry Csonka was the ball's "sponsor" at the auction.

The ball has been marked with an invisible "DNA daub" by PSA/DNA, authenticating the signatures. PSA/DNA noted that the Don Shula signature was a "clubhouse version." Letter of Authenticity included. Bidders can see the ball and additional authentication information at www.psacard.com by using the code T10899.
