Spalding NBA Game Basketball – “Classic” Limited Edition
In June of 2006 Spalding produced a Limited Edition of 5,000 NBA Official Leather Game Basketballs to commemorate the retirement of the version that had been in play since the 1983 season. It was replaced by the Cross Traxxion Basketball for the 2006-2007 season but was subsequently decided that the Cross Traxxion ball did not meet the needs of the NBA and the leather game ball was re-introduced with new logo layouts. This Limited Edition Leather Basketball is laser engraved with the “Classic” retirement logo and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
