This is a stock item and we use stock images. The autograph quality may vary as well as the location of the autograph. Condition forewarning: These white panel footballs may or may not have some sort of dirt or marks on them throughout that is a very typical to see with this product line. You may not see the photos displayed in this listing that may show this but you are given notice in advance that there is a possibility you may receive an item like this. Again it's not just us, it's every company that has this issue and has a lot to do with obviously these items being bright white as well as how the manufacturer packaging does not protect and provide a full exterior shell package to prevent this from happening. Most of the time the dirt can be cleaned up and fixed with a damp cloth but other times it is permanent.
