I'm sure they sold souvenir baseballs with stamped signatures. I don't know if they sold authentic hand signed baseballs towards the later days that the Stadium was open. If the Baseball was bought before the 1990's chances are greater that it is a souvenir stamped baseball. Ballparks have only recently started to sell authentic hand signed baseballs in souvenirs shops.

With a stamped signature baseball the ink would be too consistent. When you sign your name, you use different angles, and pressure as you sign. This is more evident when signing with sharpie. Some parts of the signature will be darker, or lighter depending on the pressure you put on the pen, or sharpie. With a stamped signature it is usually all the same density, and thickness. When you cross a "T", or at the end of your signature you might tail off as you come off the page. A stamped signature might start, and end with no variation at all.

What is the value of an autographed ball signed by all players in 1997?

1997 signed baseballIt is difficult to put a value on a multi-signed baseball especially without knowing who signed the baseball. The value of multi signed baseballs cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up. You need to find the key signature on the ball and try to find similar baseballs on line that have sold at auction. Take note of condition and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. If the signatures are not authenticated it could sell at half the market value or less.

You have 5 autographed baseballs with COA - Mickey Mantle Ted Williams Hank Aaron and 2 Willie Mays. How much are they worth separate and as a set?

A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth about $400.-$600. A Ted Williams single signed baseball is worth between $350.-$600. A Hank Aaron single signed baseball is worth between $100.-$250. A Willie Mays single signed baseball is worth about $125.-$200. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less The baseballs will sell at a higher value if sold separately, than selling them as a set. For example if a collector is in the market for a Willie Mays signed baseball why would that collector buy two? The collector might buy two if at a discount. A collector in the market for A Mantle, and Aaron baseball would not spend the extra money on the other three baseballs, unless it is at a discount, and even then the collector might have the other baseballs in a collection, and not need to pay the extra money for baseballs not wanted.

What is the value of a ball topps card company put out of a mickey mantle hand signed photo rookie baseball it has his 52 rookie card imprinted on it as well as his rookie batting average?

This baseball was sold sometime during the late 1980's early 1990's taking advantage of the baseball card boom of that time. I'm not sure that these baseballs are officially licensed by Topps. Either way, they were sold for about $10. each and are view more as a novelty item than a collectible. The baseballs sell on eBay for about $5.00 or less, and occasionally sell as high as $10.
