A loyal reader shared a link to an eBay ad from someone hoping to sell at "game-issued" football from the Dartmouth-Princeton game at Yankee Stadium in 2019. The seller is asking $190 for the ball. Find the listing HERE. This is from the description:

Listed for sale is a rare 2019 Dartmouth Big Green vs Princeton Tigers Game Issued Nike Vapor One NCAA Football. This game ball comes with the custom Dartmouth vs Princeton logo that was created for this specific game at Yankee Stadium on 11/9/2019. The logo also includes a "150" to commemorate the 150 years of Princeton football. It's also worth mentioning that Dartmouth was celebrating is 250th anniversary as well. The game ended with Dartmouth snapping Princeton's 17 game win streak but the memories made on one of the most famous stadiums in all of sports will last a lifetime. The ball holds air just fine, lacing is original and the leather panels have been nicely prepped - allowing this ball to make a great display piece in any fan's sport shrine or office.

EXTRA POINT
The day may come when I will pay little attention to the sunrise views from our Vermont hilltop house. Then again, I never tired of views from our home on the shoulder of Moose Mountain, so maybe not. This was the scene across to New Hampshire this morning with heavy fog from the Connecticut River defining the border between the "Twin States."
