    It has hakeem olajuwon, clyde drexler, and charles barkeys signature on it.

    If it isn't authenticated it is worth just sentimental value at best.

    If it is, it is worth what someone on Ebay would pay. I'd guess 300-500.

    It also has a lot to do with what kind of basketball. Is it an official NBA professional ball?

    That helps quite a bit. Even if you do not have COAs, if you had pictures of them signing the ball, that would go a long way.

    The biggest problem you have is that something like 80% of signatures on the internet are fake. Even if you are 100% honest, and these are 100% real, it creates an issue for you.

    Perhaps there is a service that can authenticate them somehow using handwriting experts?
