Among the offerings is this game ball. According to the auction house, this was one of 54 balls used during last year’s Super Bowl LI match, which saw the New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons.

This Super Bowl XXVII trophy was awarded to the Dallas Cowboys’ linebacker Robert Jones in 1993 for winning the NFC Rookie of the Year award. It might not be an actual Vince Lombardi trophy, but it’s as close to the real thing as you’ll get.
