Value of a 1978 San Diego Padres Ball?

Any idea of the value on this 1978 San Diego Padres team signed ball? Ball is a Charles Feeney ball. I have identified as the following players having signed it:
Bill Almon
Jim Beswick
Oscar Gamble (twice)
Mark Lee
Mickey Lolich
Bob Owchinko
Gaylord Perry
Eric Rasmussen
Bob Shirley
Ozzie Smith
Rick Sweet
Derrel Thomas
Dave Wehrmeister
Dave Winfield
Manager Roger Craig and coach Billy Herman (HOF)

The ball is sort of a family heirloom in the making. My grandmother passed away in 1988, and when she did, her neighbor gave me two autographed baseballs. This one, and a Ted Williams I will post in another thread. He knew I was a big baseball fan and autograph collector, and he said it was a thank you for my grandmother being so good to him for so many years.

    I am not an expert at all. However, I have a couple of similar vintage balls. I have found the values to be MUCH less than I thought they would be. Let's just say that's probably a better family heirloom than it is a potential asset. For example if you put on Ebay you probably wouldn't get $75-100 for it. It has a few HOFers which is great but they are not highly collected HOFers and it's not a highly sought after team. Cool item but probably not worth much in my opinion.

    I'm guessing neighborhood of $75-$100 as well

    neat ball with early Winfield & Wizard autographs.....Perry was Cy Young winner that season as well (I think)
