The product is a Wilson NFL Super Bowl ball autographed by Jerry Rice. The autograph is original, and the product is a football. This item would be likely of great value to fans of football, especially those who admire Jerry Rice and the Super Bowl. While the product does not come with a certificate, the authenticity of the autograph can be verified through other means such as professional third-party authentication services. Ball won't hold air.I took pictures of ball indented.
