Anybody know where I can get a game ball?

Ebay is probably your best bet. A guy with the ebay name of bigburphy00 sold a crapload of them the past few months. Sale prices varied from like $70 to $220 per ball though. I overpaid, but was happy to get one (okay, i bought two). Good luck.

I will try to contact him. Thanks for the info. Sounds like I'm not missing out on them but they are just tough to find.

Difficult to find...but cool to have. They look great in my office next to my signed balls/helmets.

Does it have to be game used or just the real ball they use with the stamp?

They've never had a game ball since I've payed attention to UT auctions

Nah. No need for a case since it's not signed. I have both sitting sideways on kicking tees on top of my bookcases that hold my other signatures, game balls and UT helmets.

I've never seen one on there either. Plus, stuff on there seems to be too overpriced when you can probably find one on ebay if you're patient.

The price is only as high as someone is willing to bid

Forgive the immaturity here but I just love writing on my balls..

For anyone interested, bigburphy just emailed me and said he has a very limited supply of the game balls in. $200 a piece is to steep for me so I thought I'd relay it to you all.
