A friend got this ball and he has no clue where it was obtained. Any help on possible team, authenticity, and possible value if any. I only recognize the Ozzie smith and a couple others

possible value and does it appear to be authentic?

thought it might be an all star game but guess not

Two of the big signatures appear to be added and look very fake.
For some reason, someone wrote Rod Carew's name in dark black ink at the top of a panel.
The same dark ink is used for McCovey's signature, which looks fake.

Here's a bunch of images of McCovey's signature, which do not match yours:

Also, HOFers Rollie Fingers and Gaylord Perry were on the '78-'79 team, but I don't see them on the ball, unless they're among the faded signatures.

possible value if all are real? just want to give him an idea what it may be worth
In the faded condition it's in, the different color inks, the added fake Carew, the probable fake McCovey, the lack of Hall of Famers Rollie Fingers and Gaylord Perry (unless they're among the faded signatures we can't see)... $100 tops because of the early Winfield and Ozzie.
