2004 Auburn Tigers Appraisal

Auburn Tigers 2004 Undefeated National Champions Commemorative Football

This is a full-sized, commemorative collegiate football celebrating the Auburn Tigers' 2004 undefeated season. The ball is constructed from synthetic leather panels featuring a unique off-white, faux-textured 'parchment' aesthetic rather than traditional brown pigskin. The front-facing panel prominently displays the '2004 National Champions' logo with the Auburn Tigers helmet, alongside the 'Southern Tradition' branding. Above the primary white stitching, several panels list the season's games, scores, and defeated opponents, serving as a historical record of the team's 13-0 run. The end panels appear to have brown synthetic accents. The item is housed in its original open-faced cardboard display box, which features 'NATIONAL CHAMPIONS' printed in orange and blue. Regarding condition, the ball appears well-preserved with no visible scuffs or air pressure loss (though not tested), while the packaging shows slight shelf wear and edge fraying on the corners. An official collegiate licensed product hologram is visible on the right flange of the box. This piece dates to approximately 2005, following the conclusion of the 2004 season, and represents a high-quality piece of sports memorabilia specifically targeted at the Tigers' fan base following their Sugar Bowl victory.
