2000 Terrell Owens Game-Used Football Touchdown Ball 49ers Owned by T. O. COA 100% Authentic

In 2000, the 49ers managed to win only six games. However, Terrell Owens had a record-breaking day on December 17, 2000 with 20 catches for 283 yards in a 17-0 49ers win over the Chicago Bears. The record-breaking 20 receptions surpassed a 50-year-old mark held by Tom Fears (it has since been surpassed by Brandon Marshall, who made 21 receptions in a game in 2009). Owens finished the year with 1,451 receiving yards and thirteen touchdowns.

The official NFL football was hand-painted on one of the panels with all the game details (Sept. 24, 2000 at Texas Stadium vs. the Cowboys – 49ers 41 Cowboys 24.) In the game, Owens had 51 yards and two touchdowns – hence, getting a touchdown ball.

It’s a wonderful stepping stone item that made T.O. into the Hall of Famer he is. Without these milestones, he would have been just average. But, with every record passed, yard gained and touchdown celebrated he was extraordinary. The ball does not hold air. However, it is still wonderfully displayable and a piece of his milestone.

Interestingly, it was an item that came directly from the famous purchase of Terrell Owen’s Storage unit as reported by TMZ. Overall, it is a great NBA collectible by itself but since it came out of the unit with the provenance of being owned and worn by Owens it makes it that more special. A copy of the original purchase receipt will add proof and provenance.
