New here... Selling NFL football autographed by Art Rooney
I have a football signed by Art Rooney in 1981. It includes the text, "Pittsburgh Steelers FootBall Club / Super Bowl Champions / 1974 * 1975 * 1978 * 1979". There is a personal message also. It was apparently used in a Steelers game, perhaps the '79 season Super Bowl. Is it possible to determine by the details on the football itself whether it was used in that Super Bowl? I have the Wilson box that it came in. I can post more details and photos here if anybody here would like me to. See those attached to this post.
Could someone tell me themselves or suggest where to post/email to find out about how much I could sell/auction it for? I have already contacted four Steelers stores in Pittsburgh, but I'm not getting much help. Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the board!
Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to authenticate that, sorry. I don't think they put special logos on game balls for Super Bowls back then like I think they do now. It would really be something if that ball was the one in this pic, though:
