2008 NBA All-Star Game Ball signed by all the players and coaches

I was given this ball by a colleague who has a family member who works for the NBA. I"m looking to sell the ball and all proceeds are going to charity. I run a program that brings college kids down to New Orleans to help them rebuild. I'm looking to find out what the ball is worth, so the organization can make some money.

Players who are on the ball-

D Wade

L James

K Garnett

P Pierce
D Howard

R Allen
C Billups

C Bosh

K Bryant

A Iverson

C Anthony

T Duncan

Y Ming

S Nash

D Nowitzki

C Paul

A Stoudamire

Hi Shawn,

I changed your category to Basketball. You'll still be able to find it through your profile and emails. Could you upload a few pictures please? This is an exciting item!

Thanks for your help. Brand new to the site.

Here are a few pics of some of the autographs that might be familiar- (I'm guessing on who is who)

I hate to say it but, the autographs are FAKE !! I have the actual ball. The autographs are very choppy on this one. Sorry.

You sure? The Nash sig looks pretty legit to me. Looks exactly like his sign on the fly sigs. Not real familiar with the other players since I'm not a huge basketball collector. Do have plenty of Nash sigs though.

2nd picture isnt kobe, 3rd one is bosh and 4th may be chris paul . The first picture has Dirk and Dwight Howard. I think Kevin Garnett did not participate in this all star game due to injury but was voted on .

I worked this years Nba all star game in los angeles , and ones in years past. It is true the players do sign a ton of stuff in a room . Most of it is for charity and such . Garnett has always refused to sign . This year he was asked and I was told he said "Im not doing any of that sh** .

Send more pictures of the ball and I can help you out with who they are. But I have no idea at who number 2 is . It may be a coach or something.

Second autograph is of Kevin Eastman . He was a coach in the all star game on the east side.

The ball is 100% real. My colleague's family member is in charge of All-Star weekend for the NBA. Does anyone know of a reputable company in NJ? I appreciate everyone's input, I'm completely lost on this topic. I'm a huge sports fan but no knowledge of the memorabilia aspect.
