John Elway Pre Rookie 1980 Stanford Cardinals Team Signed Football JSA COA

Introduction

Presented here is a 1980 NFL Stanford Cardinal Team Signed Football, complete with a letter of authenticity from JSA. This Wilson (USA) football boasts over 35 signatures in black ballpoint pen, artfully scattered across its panels. Among the autographs are those of the 1979-80 Stanford squad, featuring Hall of Famer John Elway, Vincent White, Andre Tyler, and Jay Summers. The Cardinal finished the season with a 551 overall record and a 331 mark in the Pac-10, placing sixth in the conference. However, what makes this ball truly special is not the team’s record but the presence of a young freshman quarterback who shared playing time with senior starter Turk Schonert. This freshman, none other than John Elway, would go on to become one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, winning two Super Bowls, an MVP award, and earning numerous accolades before being inducted into the Hall of Fame. The ball itself is in excellent condition, with well-preserved panels and clear signatures. This football is a remarkable piece of sports history, capturing the early days of a future legend and making it an exceptional addition to any collection.
