Signed football (Eli, Peyton, Vermeil, Berman, etc.) have some questions

[THE_STIG]

Ok, so here is the back story, my step mother is a former employee of Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City. A few years ago the casino held an event for the Maxwell Club. I'll throw this out there, I have no idea what that is because i'm not a big football guy. Anyway, she received a autographed football which she gave to me, again i'm not a big football guy so I figured cool and threw the football in my closet. I was digging around and found it, I started looking at the autographs, the only one that stood out was Eli Manning but after looking at the ball and online a bit i've concluded that these guys signed it:

9 Signatures All Together
Eli Manning
Peyton Manning
Joe Theismann
Chris Berman
Ron Jaworski
Dick Vermeil
Art McNally
Ray Didinger
Teddy Lehman

Here is an article about the event the ball was signed at.

My question is, is this thing worth anything at all?

Here are a couple pictures (yes the ball is flat, it was given to me in 2004):

Just want some insight into this thing, I know there is a sports section but figured it would get more traffic here.

Maybe, if you can get the Teddy Lehman signature to rub off...

Yea from what I can tell his signature is not worth the paper, or football in this case, that its written on.

A quick search on ebay reveals Peyton Manning autographs actually selling for between $30-$70. With those other signatures, you might be able to sell it for a decent price, but I don't think your gonna get more than a few hundred out of it. Its not exactly in perfect condition judging by the pics.

its not worth anything if you dont have any paperwork etc. Saying heres the link to where it happened and my mom gave it to me simply does not prove you didnt write it in your bedroom. Obviously i know you didnt but a collector doesnt. You have to have real authentication to make it worth that 1200-1800 you want. Other wise its 500-600 IMO

Found PSADNA.com, they authenticate autographs. Might be worth checking into.

^ Yeah! let me know what you find out

You have it, what it's worth is up to you because it's worth whatever it would cost for someone to get it out of your hands and into theirs.

Since it's not in the best condition and is also not official like a person said I'm going out on a limb here and say not more than $1000

The actual football is in great condition, just need to be pumped up with air and to dust it off, the box is a bit beat up but I don't think the condition of the box really matters.

Why did Chris Berman sign it?

The Mannings and Theisman sigs are probably worth quite a bit. Not sure why you'd get all those sigs on the same ball though.
