GUEST: I've had it since I was 11 years old. I asked my dad, I wanted an Alabama football. And he came home one day and had a football.
APPRAISER: This ball came from the Crimson Tide's undefeated season of 1966, which poured over into 1967, when they won the Sugar Bowl, beating Nebraska 34-7. This ball was given out with all the signatures on the team, including the coach, Bear Bryant, their legendary coach. This was right in the heart of Bear Bryant's reign. Paul "Bear" Bryant, one of the winningest coaches in college football. They won in 1965, and in '66, which they played the Sugar Bowl in January of '67, they went undefeated, 11-0, they beat Nebraska 34-7. Didn't you figure they'd win the national championship that year?
GUEST: Absolutely. Because Notre Dame had a tie.
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
GUEST: But they won the national championship.
APPRAISER: Value-wise, because they didn't win the national championship, yet they went undefeated, this ball-- there couldn't have been too many of them made. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of around $800 to $1,200.
GUEST: Great, fantastic.
