Question
Our school was given a basketball with many signatures years ago. We want to include it in our school auction fundraiser but have no idea what it is worth.  It was given to us by New Balance.  We can make out signatures from Chris Ford, Rick Fox, Xavier McDaniel and there are ~12 more I can't make out, maybe Don Casey? D? Wiley 4?
Thanks.

Answer
Since you mentioned Xavier McDaniel's signature, I'm pretty confident that this basketball came from either the 1992-93 or 1993-94 NBA season.

My suggestion to you would be to scan eBay for autographed Celtics merchandise from this period (basketballs, yearbooks, etc.) to get a rough estimate of how much your asking price should be.
