Help w/ an Autographed Football

I bought an autographed football in a nice display case at a rummage sale. It has over 40 signatures on it, and my research has found that it is from the 1992 NFL Pro Bowl. Signatures are somewhat faded; they are all in the same ink; some are right-side up, some upside down, some sideways, etc. Some of the signatures I've found on it include Brett Favre, Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Reggie White, Emmitt Smith....and from checking their signatures online, they look authentic.
And there are many more signatures on it that I've identified from the NFL Pro Bowl player's roster for that year, and others I haven't figured out yet. Then, there are some readable signatures on it that are not listed in the roster at all (like James Brown) and I don't know who they are. (Not James Brown, the sportscaster, surely?). "NFC" is printed in small, capital letters on the football and it's clear from looking at the roster that only NFC players signed it. Is it worth much? How would I go about finding its value? My Internet searching has come up with nothing regarding Pro Bowl-autographed footballs, except that the exact opposite ball (1992, AFC) was sold on Ebay in 2007 (I don't have access to how much it sold for: see http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1992-afc-autographed-pro-bowl-football) I might have to sign up (and pay) Worthpoint to see what it sold for, but meanwhile if someone could please give me some direction, I'd really appreciate it!
