is the star printed on the ball, or is it inside it ? if the star is printed on the ball, is it covered/protected in any way, or will it rub off?

It's inside the ball. Seems like two halves with the star in the middle. The seam is hardly noticeable though.

I have only had mine for a few months, but it looks as good today as it was when I put it on. I think it's the material used behind the letters/numbers that allows the printing to last. It appears to be very sturdy. I love mine!

No mesh covering the stars. There is a grate inside. The draft goes up through the stars...We've never had a problem.

The ball is hollow, but it is molded, not inflated, so it holds its shape . In fact, it actually comes with a small hole in it, I assume as a result of the molding process. My boxer loves biting the ball and forcing air out the hole--I think she likes the sound.

Yes there is an indent ion to hold the ball. It's made of either nice plastic or coated wood. It's really nice case.

Yes, but it is very subtle. The previous version of this ball had an oval-shaped design that was superimposed through the block lettering of the word "ELITE." There was also a mark above the A in Baden. Same ball though. As I'm sure you know, it's a great basketball.

It appears to be embossed, it will not rub off. I like the feel of it.Gisele

Its Still David Stern....Spalding probably has over 100,000 of these being or already sent out to stores. I don't even think the NBA has Silver's signature on them. It takes months for the NBA just to break the balls in. (Pardon the pun) what you should be asking yourself is... What does it matter who's signatures on the ball? why do you care who signature is on the ball? That's a rhetorical question. You shouldn't.

No, the entire ball is made of screen attached to the frame work... the small gauge of the wire mesh screen is why it rusts out so quickly, Landmann needs to address this and use thicker gauged screening.

This picture is a bit odd. All I know is the ball on mine is almost identical to the picture but there is only the emblem on the top. A closer look at this picture shows the word HURST wrapped around it. Mine had no such lettering, just the emblem on the top. Black, silver, and red; same as the official emblem.

There is a small embossed logo on the upper corner. The logo is not very visible. Hope this helps.

The ball appears to be made of vinyl. Sturdy enough for young children, but isn't a rough type material. Of course, it's smaller than a regulation basketball, and fits into little hands very nicely. Making "scores" a sure thing. :)The ball also has an air valve for adding more air, if desired. The ball, as packed, arrived with a moderate amount of airand we added a wee bit more, in order to get a bit better bounce. Hope that's helpful.

There is not a mesh covering the stars. I don't worry about ashes falling through. Ours is kept outside 24/7/365. It does develop some rust. we drilled a small hole in bottom for water drainage. we never have used the screen top. Just be sure and place where nothing will catch fire. we have ours on a gravel driveway area at our farm. I like it :)

The cover does have the team logos on it like the display. The Hologram cover has an iridescent shimmer effect, this was a limited edition print which was at the time of print was $5 more than the non holographic edition. There is no difference in the contents inside. I hope that this information helps you.

yes...the logo is on the clip. I believe it is a screened image, not stamped in. I think a black sharpie would cover it, if that's a concern. There is a logo on the end of the cap also, which again is screened, since I have the blue pen, I'm not sure that could be covered as quickly, but its not as visible unless someone was standing above you.

Yes, the whole cover is covered. You can see the logo through it, because of the light...I love mine!
