Wow!! If any of those soccer balls were rubber (not machine glued or stitched), they would be worth hundreds today!!! I collect "full size" vintage rubber soccer balls that were used in soccer games between 1966 and 1984. Many of these old rubber soccer balls were made a bit different back then. Rubber soccer balls that were used in games, like these, would have been made of a soft polyurethane rubber. PU rubber, as they were known, had outstanding response on the pitch. They made for great training balls, but it was not uncommon for them to have been used in games, especially if the pitch was muddy or wet. I would pay a great deal of money to anyone who still had old PU rubber soccer balls, that were used in soccer games over 45 years ago. I do not care if they are flat. I do not care if they are very worn, or even slightly damaged from years of play. Many are still around today, stuffed in boxes somewhere in storage, in garages, etc. where they have not been tossed out yet. It's these old rubber soccer balls, I hope to find and save from the trash bin if possible. The older the ball is, and the more it was used, the more I would be willing to pay for it, assuming it did not have dry rot.
