i have the opportunity to purchase five single-signed basketballs, signed by the following former boston celtics/nba hall of famers: tom heinsohn, bill sharman, john havlicek, kevin mchale and robert parish. theyre all on spalding official nba indoor-outdoor balls (the havlicek is actually on a nice vintage mid-80's ball and the other four are on more recent versions), and while only the heinsohn is authenticated (by tri-star), i know the others are legit because they come from a very reputable source.
that being said, what is a good price to pay for all five balls????? is the psa autograph price guide a good barometer for estimating a value?? and are autographed basketballs worth more if the autograph is on an official nba game ball?? (as opposed to say, an indoor-outdoor ball which would be the next best thing)--thanks in advance for any help! (i think i see a reply from vitoco1972 in my future!!)

I remember in the early 90s having Kev sign a dozen at a time for me, always easy sales.
<< <i>Yes, definitely worth more on an official NBA game ball. The prices from those guys should vary a bit. Parish will be the cheapest. I would go on eBay and see what's available and pay no more than 70% of that. Heinsohn and Sharman are extremely easy signers that can be had for free in the mail. Hondo is a good signer but only at shows - no TTM. McHale is actually a pretty tough autograph in general. He rarely does shows and doesn't even have a certified auto card that's been mass produced and have never signed TTM. I would actually be interested in the McHale ball if a trade were possible. Can't afford cash though. Good luck. >>
McHale has a Donruss sticker auto now, Donruss, also made a dual with Bird, and a triple, with both Bird and Parish
