Here's a real rarity - a signed basketball from the mid-'60s. And this one is special, as it is signed by both the All-Stars from the Eastern Conference and Western Conference. The East hammered the West by the score of 137-94 at the Cincinnati Gardens on January 11, 1966, and there are 21 signatures from the exhibition on an Official Jerry Lucas ball that is NRMT. The signatures in pen are all nice and average 8/10. The names are a virtual Who's Who of the era, including Chamberlain, Auerbach, Reed, Lucas, Havlicek, Jones, Mikan, DeBusschere, Greer, Robertson, Thurmond, Russell and more. Hometown star Adrian Smith of the Royals led seven in double figures with a game-high 24 points. He remains the only one-time All-Star to have been named All-Star Game MVP.
