Here's something special from back in the day that you might find pretty interesting. This officially licensed St. Louis Rams 2003 NOS (New Old Stock) "Champions" Rams/Cardinals championships through 2003, right before Fotoball ceased operations. These underinflated footballs are just under 11.5" long and about 6.5" at its widest diameter, which puts it in the same ballpark as regulation NFL footballs.

This is a limited edition item in which 10,000 of these were made, and these are becoming more difficult to find. 

A few things to note: This football was underinflated at the factory so it would easily fit in the cardboard store display. We did NOT inflate or test the football, so we cannot guarantee the "inflatability" of this item. It should be fine if you wish to add a little air to make it appear "game-ready" but our guess is this will have a pretty short life span if you actually use it in a game. Remember, this is a "vintage novelty" and not designed for much more than sitting on the mantel.

Similarly, this also includes a permanent marker for autographs. While still sealed within the package, after 20-plus years, it wouldn't surprise us if it had nothing left in the proverbial tank. In other words, don't get your hopes up. 

Lastly, the display box is inherently weak as it was designed to sit on a shelf in a store with no protective hard plastic shell, so it gets beaten up pretty easily in storage (which is where this was). There are spots where stress caused tears or creasing in the display cardboard. A football display holder would be a better option as the boxes are not all that sturdy.

The bottom line, however, is that the football itself is pretty darn awesome!
