Gloster Richardson's last year in KC was 1970

I think 1970 fits the sigs deciphered so far.
Awesome guys.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with the names on this great football!
Including the ones already mentioned and with the help of scho63's reference to the 1970 team, I squinted super hard and was able to confirm the following autos...including Len Dawson's which was hanging out on the pointy end of the ball.

Len Dawson, Otis Taylor, Sid Smith, Jerry Mays, Jack Rudnay, Johnny Robinson, Emmitt Thomas, Mike Livingston, Marvin Upshaw, Curley Culp, Mike Garrett, Jim Tyrer, Jerrell Wilsom, Dave Hill, Ed Budde, Robert Nolan, Jim Lynch, Frank Pitts, Warren McVea, Willie Mitchell, Aaron Brown, Ceasar Belser, Morris Stroud, Buck Buchanan, George Daney, Jan Stenerud, Bobby Bell, and a few others I'm unable to work out...

Let me know what you find out, my wife's grandmother gave me what looks like a similar one. I bumped into Jim Kearney who is on my ball at a driving range once. I was hoping to bump into him again and show him the ball to see if he could date it.

It won't let me paste links because I'm new, but add the prefix before the URL below.

I think I've found out pretty much all there is to find out.
If you read through the thread you'll see the help that was given finding the names, as well as a useful link to roster for 1970 (I"m sure you can repeat the same for other years until the names on your ball match possible team).
I then just built on others work to make out as many as I could.
Because my ball is not dated or referred to per particular game, biddee biddee biddee, b'that's all folks.

Oh, and if any on here are interested in buying it, it's gone to ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283976170366
