Thanks all forthe feedback. This is what I have so far, which I will forward to my co worker:
1- It appears the sigs 9with possible exception of Aaron) are legitimate
2- Missing players are Detroit Tigers (1968?) Bill Freehan, Northrup, J Hiller
3- Ball not worth $1000 raw (or certified for that matter) Estimates of $250 (I seriously doubt it could be that low, too many deceased HOFs to average $10/$15 an auto) nut serious concern for continuous fading of signatures
Is there anything that could be done to lengthen or eliminate the fading? Clearly using gloves when handling the ball comes to mind, but would a UV cover or some coating help the situation? Purely hypothetical b/c I do not think the card shop guy will drop to the $500-$600 price point which would be a more reasonable estimate if all sigs are real ($30-40 per HOF, $10 for others...) . I'd think seriously about it at $500, but I am just advising a colleague
Thanks again
