A wonderful addition to any college basketball memorabilia collection, this 1997 Wooden Classic NCAA game basketball features the autographs of John Wooden, Montgomery (Stanford), Dave Bliss (Georgia), Steve Lavin (UCLA), and Dave Jirsa (New Mexico). The Wooden Classic, now in its fourth year, had firmly established itself as one of college basketball's most celebrated early-season showcases, and this game ball captures that spirit beautifully.
Authentication via PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity provides confidence and peace of mind for the discerning collector. Coach Wooden's signature is the crown jewel of any basketball autograph collection, and its presence here, alongside four Division I head coaches, gives this ball tremendous cross-collector appeal. Stanford's storied basketball program under Montgomery, Lavin's early tenure at UCLA, and Bliss's coaching career all contribute to the historical narrative this ball represents. A clean, investment-grade piece that speaks to the enduring legacy of John Wooden and the coaches who gathered in his honor.
