And our last word in business today is gridiron guarantee.
The National Football League is putting a stamp of authenticity on the footballs used during Sunday's Super Bowl. They aim to prevent scam artists from selling fakes after the game is over. Those balls can be pretty valuable. On one sports collector's website, a ball from Super Bowl II, signed by Green Bay Packers legend Bart Starr, is now going for $2,200.
More than 100 footballs are used during the big game, and this year they will be tagged with invisible ink markings so that collectors know their item is the real thing.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
