Need some Basketball Collector Expertise

[Bob_VT]

Okay my wife works for a Non-Profit organization. They are going to be holding a fundraiser in early April. My wife sent out letter's for donations to be auctioned off and received notification that she would be receiving an autographed photo from the Boston Celtics. It is a photo of Paul Pierce aka The Truth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Pierce

Here is the confusion ???? Value? It is going to be offered in a silent auction that will be attended by 200 people. I have looked at ebay and the values are all over.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

A Larry Bird autographed photo goes for 60-90 bucks.
If it's for a silent auction, it will go for whatever it goes for. Could be 5 bucks, could be 2,000 bucks if the person is drunk enough.

I have a football (yes FOOTBALL) signed by Karl Malone, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan, Jeff Hornacek, Ty Corbin, Greg Ostertag, Bryan Russel and others. It's a Wilson NFL ball so I'm thinking it's still worth about 30 bucks. I have no idea whet the sigs are worth.
