Multi-Signed Notre Dame Fighting Irish White Panel Full-Size Rawlings Football

This is a full-size souvenir football manufactured by Rawlings, specifically designed for autographs with its smooth white synthetic leather panels. The front panel prominently features the iconic 'ND' monogram logo in navy blue and gold, with the 'NOTRE DAME' text block printed below it. The ball is multi-signed by several individuals, likely former players or coaches from the university's football program, in bold black and purple permanent markers. Notable markings include jersey numbers such as '#50', '#22', and '#9' accompanying various signatures. The item is currently housed in its original Rawlings cardboard display box and is wrapped in a protective clear plastic film, which has some minor creasing but helps preserve the ink quality. The white panels appear clean with no significant scuffing or light-induced yellowing visible in the photo. A 'COLLECTIBLES' holographic QR seal is visible on the side of the box, serving as a manufacturer’s authentication mark for the base product. The stitching and laces are white, maintaining a clean aesthetic typical of modern sports memorabilia. The presence of multiple signatures suggests this was likely obtained at a team event or through a private signing session within the last 10 to 15 years.
