Would like to see - photo of real game-used 1980's football

[Runscott]

I have a 1980's football that I have concerns about - it looks brand-new compared to a 2014 football that I am certain is game-used.

Anyone have a photo of a 1980's football that they are absolutely positive is game-used? Thanks.

Seriously - no one in our forum owns a used football !?!?

Scott this is the only football I have. It's the game ball from the Monday Night game which Bo ran Bosworth over.

Thanks, I'm looking for what a game-used football should look like - rubbing, wear, etc. Do you think you could show the non-painted side? Thanks.

I have an '80s supposedly game-used football that looks almost new. I'm told that balls from that era did not have to be roughed-up as much - much easier to play with right out of the bag.

Here's the other side.

Thanks, Clint - yours looks as prepared as today's game balls. I think the ones that look like they just came out of a Wilson box, did exactly that.

Glad I could help.

Dont have it anymore, But I had a Bills Game ball (grandparents lived next door to a coach) from the 80's and it very much looked like the one posted. It certainly didnt look like new.
