How much would team autographed balls from the 1956 Yankees and 1956 Red Sox be worth?

Answer 1

According to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," the '56 Red Sox ball is worth between $200-250, and the World Champion Yankees ball considerably more: $500-800, value being greater or lower depending on exact players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Casey Stengel on the Yanks ball and Ted Williams on the Red Sox ball - plus the all-important overall condition of the balls and Autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (are they "Official American League" baseballs?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and total number of signatures present. The authenticity of the Mantle, Stengel and Williams signatures are of particular importance, as all used "ghost-signers" extensively. These factors, plus the authenticity of all the significant and key signatures are the main variables in determining value. 1956 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball A 1956 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Vernon, Jensen, and Williams is worth about $300-$400. 1956 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball A 1956 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Stengel, Rizzuto, Berra, Slaughter, Mantle, Ford, Howard, Martin, Bauer, Larsen is worth about $2,500-$3,100.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
