From a former Steelers player, I just picked up a Steelers ball.

Not just any Steelers ball...  A Steelers autographed ball.

Just just any Steelers autographed ball... A 1978 AFC Championship Steelers
autographed ball.

Not just any 1978 AFC Championship Steelers autographed ball...  A 1978 AFC
Championship autographed ball signed by the entire team.

Here are some pics

David,

When you say "picked up", what exactly do you mean ?

BTW, I was a Cowboys fan then as a kid.

That's one hell of a nice collectible - do you do sports memorabilia as a
hobby ?  A couple of guys on my hockey team collect huge amounts of hockey
stuff.

Whew.  For a second, I thought I killed the forum.

I friend of mine knows a sister of a player on that team.  I don't mean to
be vague but I'm not sure if I should mention his name or not.

Actually this is the first piece of memorabilia I own.

David,

No, please don't.   That was one generous gift.

Same here.  The only thing that we have of any value is a hockey stick
signed by every member of the 1999 Buffalo Sabres that went to the Stanley
Cup Finals.  My daughter won it as a prize when she was in grade school.
