Where and why did you buy this football, OP? First of all, that's the worst reproduction of an official Wilson NFL ball I've ever seen. The panels aren't in the right order -
there should be a brown hide tied to the white hide right under the laces, not two white hides. The stitching around the laces is all hosed up and the laces themselves don't even look tied to the inside of the hide. It's possible that the ball was damaged somehow, but that doesn't really explain the super hosed up stitching.

None of the readable autographs bring anything up on search. "Cally 56" and something to do with the letters WSH. It's possible you may have some extremely old college football or something, but it's definitely not from the NFL at any point in the last ~80 or so years.

Unless you have more pictures, I don't think I can tell you any more about that ball. Knowing the type of ball (brand, size, etc) will help you narrow it down to where it was used.

Here is the other side. I only bought it because of the hospital logo. I figured it was from a charity event. It was :10bux: so for the chance of a team signed football I would chance it.



That's a better photo, and easier to read some signatures. Phillip Tanner wore #34 for the Dallas Cowboys from 2011-2013. Next to that, it looks like J H #84. In 2012, there was a tight end signed to the Cowboys named James Hanna. In that same vein, the first photo seems to reveal S L 95. There is, of course, a linesman named Sean Lissemore that wore #95 in 2012.

After looking at the data, I can confidently say you have a football signed by members of the 2012 Dallas Cowboys.

EDIT: After doing a quick google search, it looks like the 2012 Cowboys Rookie Club visited Children's Medical Center in May of 2012. Mystery solved.
