Question
Hey there,
         In 6th grade, back in 2004, I won a signed basketball with all the celtics' players names on it. The basketball is green and white with the celtics leprechaun on it. How much would this be worth today, if i was to sell it?

Answer
Alissa,

autographed basketballs' value depends on the material they are made of (leather ones are the most valuable), on the fact that they are certificated (or not) and on the players/coaches who signed them.
I have seen certified leather made basketballs signed by the 80's edition of the Celtics range from 700 to 1,500 $, but the most recent ones before the Celtics got back to pre-eminence in the NBA are in the 200-500 $ range, depending on the factors listed above.
I suggest you check on Ebay and see the actual value of similar memorabilia.
