PSA/DNA Worthy? 1979 Chicago Cubs Team Autographed Baseball

I recently picked up this 1979 Chicago Cubs Autographed Team Baseball. It appears to have 26 Signatures on it. No Bruce Sutter, Rick Reuschel or Ivan Dejesus. Not that I can make out that is. I listed the signatures that I can make out below...


Tim Blackwell
Bill Buckner
Bill Caudill
Gene Clines
Steve Davis
Steve Dillard
Miguel Dilone
Barry Foote
Herman Franks
Tony Garafolo - Trainer
Ken Holtzman
Mick Kelleher
Bob Kennedy - GM
Dave Kingman
Dennis Lamp
Steve Macko (Rare signature from what I've read. Only played 25 games and died of cancer in 1981)
Jerry Martin
Steve Ontiveros
Karl Pagel
Mike Roarke - Coach
Cookie Rojas
Kurt Seibert
Scot Thompson

If you can make out anyone that I don't have listed or notice that I have one listed wrong, please let me know! Now back to my original question. For resale purposes, is a ball like this worth sending into PSA/DNA? It looks like the fee will be $150.00. Then you have shipping both ways as well. I appreciate all insight and opinions.

Thanks
Craig

    Craig:

    The value of the ball itself is only in the neighborhood of $75 -$100, so spending $150 on getting it authenicated would not be a wise investment.

    Is that Mike Roarke above Gene Clines? And Jerry Morales and Mick Kelleher below the Trainer?

    Edit:Maybe Jerry Martin instead of Jerry Morales.

    mrpeanut39 - Great eye! I appreciate it! Mike Roarke was a coach from 1978-1980.

    OAKESY25 - Thank you.

    Thanks

  • Too bad it doesn't have Bobby Murcer and Donnie Moore.
