Description

This ball is in great condition. It was signed by the majority (maybe entire) Lakers team.  Wilt Chamberlain signed early on.  Jerry West signed after.  When Wilt saw that Jerry had signed he said, "If Jerry signed, I have to sign twice." He re-signed the basketball so there are TWO Wilt signatures, as well as Pat Riley, Happy Hairston, Gale Goodrich, etc.

 

I see that a a 1987 ball autographed by a number of players is being advertised for almost $2,400 (http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com/sports-products/1987-nba-champions-lakers-team-signed-autographed-official-leather-game-ball-basketball.html?channel=froogle&CAWELAID=1412537106).

 

How much do you think this ball is worth?
