    I have the '94 hat. I don't know where it is right now, but I know I can find it. I should. It embodies so many great memories from my childhood.

    I also have both shirts and the '95 Western Conference Champions shirt. I wore them so much I had to stop because they were starting to wear out. Someday, when I have more motivation, I want to incorporate them into quilt.

    That's a good ball, for many reasons, but the primary reason is that Charles Barkley never signs anything, So you have a keeper. His autographs can go for as much 1.3k all by himself. Then too your ball is signed by his one time best friend and now disenfranchised buddy, Jordan, who pulls another 1.2k alone. Shaq. And that ball is hard to price as it's rare. The Jazz auto's used to be rare too, but recent signings changed that. Charles probably signed some dream team I balls, but outside of that, it's still a limited and rare item. With authentication you could be looking at 3k I would think. Without authentication it would go as low as $500 to someone who recognizes the autos as legit and wants it. If you hand off the item to your kids give them some proof of your relationship to the org or to a person to help them if they ever go to sell it.

    ...And if you have the entire dream team on it, I don't even know, it would be sick. Probably like 20-30k if it's an official barcelona olympic basketball.

    Thank you again. I never knew that about Chuck. I was told at the time that many stars wouldn't sign a ball with other star's autographs already applied. So my friend covered the ball in plastic except where it was to be signed. Presumably to keep it clean :) My friend was a close relative of a judge who was connected to the Summit. And that's how I got signed Playoff shoes, ect. She easily obtained the autographs because they were for my 5 year old son. I guess it was hard for stars to refuse to sign a ball for a little kid (a different time maybe). And my son is the one who wanted Malone and Stockton's autograph included on the ball as his own personal Dream Team.
