I went to an estate sale at the home of Sid Hertzberg, who played for the Knicks and the Celtics and also played under Red Auerbach. I bought this ball on a whim, having no idea what it was. After some research, it appears to be a signed ball from the 1951-52 Philadelphia Warriors. I've identified Eddie Gottlieb (coach and HOF'er), Paul Arizin (HOF'er and a Top 50 player), Joe Fulks (HOF'er), Andy Phillip (HOF'er), Ed Mikan, Vern Gardner, Mel Payton, Walt Budko, George Senesky and perhaps Neil Johnston (HOF) below the damaged part. Obviously the condition isn't the best. It's dried out on part of the ball and flaking in spots. Most of the signatures are in places that aren't too bad, except for that bottom one. Any idea of value? And full disclosure, I am looking to sell. I'm not really a basketball collector, except for a few Jerry West items (from my home state of West Virginia!).
