That would depend on who the player, or team is.

How do you remove ink from a baseball?
This is a No No. Do not try to remove a signature or "ink" from a baseball. You will most likely do more harm to it. Restoration to any collectible should be left to the expert that has experience with that type of work, and to this day I have never heard of anyone that restores baseballs or signatures. If you try to remove ink from a signed baseball the ink might lighten, but will spread to a larger area of the ball. It will bleed into the baseball. What ever you use to remove the stain will have no problem removing the signatures as well. If any liquid comes in contact with the signatures, your baseball will look like a wet piece of mail. If you are trying to remove an unwanted signature from a baseball you will not be able to do so cleanly. you will cause some damage to the baseball, and the "Ghost" of the old signature will be apparent. If you have the baseball re signed by another player this will lower the value of the new signature. You will be better off buying a new baseball.
What brand of marker is recommended for autographs on baseball cards?
The collectable value of a baseball card is reduced by the signature. The signatures is viewed by card collectors as a flaw in the condition of the card. After it is signed the value will rely on the value of the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive card signed. Autographed baseball cards sell at about the price of a signed 8x10 photo or less or about 40 percent the value of a signed baseball (or less) A thin (fine) point Sharpie would be most preferred for the signature. A signature signed with Sharpie would stand out better. If the signature is too thick, on the smaller card, it might make for a sloppy signature, and ruin the display, lowing the price. The color that should be used would be a color that stands out in contrast to the baseball card. in most cases blue would be preferred. Using a ballpoint pen on a baseball card could work, and make for a better "clean signature" but, it could also leave an indent in the card.
What is the value of a baseball autographed by Mickey Mantle Early Wynn Lefty Gomez Bob Feller Billy Herman and Ernie Banks?
In some cases a single signed baseball of a noted player is worth more than a multi signed baseball with the same player of note. In this case the Mickey Mantle signature would be the most valuable, and the key signature with the other Hall of Fame players on this baseball. I would categorize this baseball as a "Mickey Mantle Multi signed Hall of Fame baseball" And this would be part of the explanation of why a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball would be more valuable than a Multi signed HOF baseball. Value is based on the price collectors pay for an Item. There are more collectors of Mickey Mantle memorabilia, and his signature is more sought after than the other HOF'ers on this baseball. You have to treat this as two separate items. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball, and a Multi signed baseball. There are less collectors of Hall of Fame multi signed signatures, than collectors of a Mickey Mantle signature. Therefor a Mickey Mantle Signed baseball will sell at a higher price. A collector of a Mickey Mantle signed baseball might prefer the signature by itself, may not desire the other signatures, and will not pay extra for the others or just pay less for the less desired baseball. This is why you cannot add up the value of each signature to come up with a value. A single signed Mickey Mantle Baseball is worth about $400..-$800. I checked an auction house for Mickey Mantle Multi signed baseballs and found 5 baseballs that sold between $131. - $896 averaging around $350. Of cause the signatures that appear on each baseball are different, and will effect the value, as well as the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures, and condition. Which signature that appears on the "sweet spot" will also effect the value. The baseball that sold for $896. was in great condition, strong signatures, PSA/DNA authenticated, and had the following signatures: Mantle, Herman, Spahn, Koufax, Sewell, Musial, Killebrew, Palmer, Berra, Banks, Marichal, Mays, Lemon, Aparicio, Ford, Aaron and Frank Robinson. With three signatures in common with your baseball with some similar signatures, but more. Two Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider Multi-Signed Baseballs. (NY center Fielders) very desired Willie Mickey and the Duke baseball sold for $334. and $448. This baseball with only three signature might be more desired than the baseball you have. A Mickey Mantle, Wally Post, Ted Kluszewski, and Gus Bell, very sloppy condition sold for sold for $167 Your baseball should do much better that this, and based on the information from these auction I would say that your baseball if properly authenticated in excellent+ condition should be worth at least $350.-$500. signatures that are not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. If the signatures are not authenticated, and if you do not no the origin of the baseball, be sure that the signatures are hand signed, and not facsimile (stamped) signatures. For more info on facsimile signatures, and autographed baseballs read my newsletter "How Much is my autographed baseball" I will leave a couple of links below.
How much is a 1940s autograph book worth with over 120 baseball player autographs?
== == Each of the 120 signatures would have to be valued on it's own merit. Each signature will be valued as a "cut signature". Cut Signatures are often cut from an item that has been ruined to save its value from such items as a cover of a publication, photograph, letter or notebook on which it was originally signed. Cuts are commonly used by collectors to display with a framed photo, or for inserts by baseball card companies. If you sell the autograph book as a whole you would get less money, but more information would be needed to give a more accurate value.
