Most Expensive NFL Game Used Footballs
Some of the most expensive NFL game-used footballs have achieved significant prices at auction. Please note that these values might have changed since then, and I recommend checking with reliable auction sources for the most up-to-date information. Here are a few examples of high-priced NFL game-used footballs:
- Tom Brady’s Super Bowl LI Football: The football used in Super Bowl LI, where Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to an incredible comeback victory against the Atlanta Falcons, was sold at auction for around $400,000 in 2017.
- Tom Brady’s First Touchdown Pass Football: The football thrown by Tom Brady for his first career touchdown pass in 2001 was sold for over $43,000 in 2019.
- Johnny Unitas’ 1957 NFL Championship Football: The football used in the 1957 NFL Championship Game (often referred to as the Greatest Game Ever Played) where Johnny Unitas led the Baltimore Colts to victory, was sold at auction for around $50,000.
- Brett Favre’s 421st Touchdown Pass Football: The football thrown by Brett Favre for his 421st career touchdown pass was sold for over $30,000 in 2013.
- Peyton Manning’s Record-Breaking Touchdown Pass Football: The football thrown by Peyton Manning for his record-breaking 509th career touchdown pass was sold for around $40,000 in 2014.
These are just a few examples, and many other game-used footballs associated with iconic NFL moments and players have achieved substantial prices at auction. The value of such memorabilia is often influenced by factors such as the significance of the game, the player involved, the historical context, and the condition of the football. Keep in mind that the prices mentioned are based on historical auction results and may have changed in subsequent years.

I have been collecting memorabilia for half of my life. I started very small with a few trading cards and since then I am more and more interested in the subject. I read a lot in Facebook groups, collect especially Jordan memorabilia. I'm happy if you like my content.
