When I was young I went to a Duke Basketball camp and during a raffle I won a Duke basketball signed by members of team. I am wondering what year it's from, I though 1990- but I need some help. Here are the signatures I can make out: christian laettner, Marty Clark, Kenny Blakney, Antonio Lang, Grant Hill, Clay Blakey??, Bobby Hurley, Crawford Palmer?, like 5-6 more I can't make out... I know you guys know!
Here are the pictures of the ball for some help (http://www.aaustinbornman.com/duke)

If it has both Clay Buckley and the Lang/Clark/GHill class, it must be 1990-91.

Let's see. A Duke basketball signed by most if not all of Duke's first national champion team? I'm betting it would go for over 4 figures on E-bay!

that's great, I am going to go to psa and get a coa (friends advice)
I will miss the ball, but I bet someone else will take better care of it.

^^Don't get rid of it. You will regret it tremendously in the future, rest assured. My mother, who was a huge, huge Detroit baseball fan when she was younger, let go of her signed 1960s Tigers World Series highlight album, and it was all I ever heard about for the longest time, how she wished she had still had it. Unless you are just a casual fan and it doesn't mean as much to you (or unless you are going to be using the money earned to make the trip out to Maui next season:)), then I guess I would go ahead and sell it. But, being someone who also has a team signed ball from a Duke Camp, I would never part with it.

Seeing as you're not emotionally attached to the ball, why don't you donate it to DBR and let them auction it for charity!

Pictures 5 & 6 appear to be the same thing - photos of Christian Ast's autograph.

Picture 1 is definitely Buckley and Hurley. It looks like a B starting the name on the side which would make it either Brian Davis or Billy McCaffrey.

Picture 2 is (as you noted) Clark, Lang, and Blakeney.

Picture 3 looks like some guy named Grant H.... no idea who that could be.

Is that a "ki" at the end of the name in picture 3?
