Brandon,
I guess my question is what provenance does this item have to justify the extra.
The dealer may be very reputable, but if you go to re-sell the ball in the future, how are you going to prove to the next person the significance. Without proof, you will not be able to justify any sort of extra value, except that it is game used.
If the money isn't an issue for you, you may enjoy the ball and it's special meaning. Just don't expect to sell it to the next person, as a special ball, without independent proof.
Good luck with your decision,
Mark
