What is an authentic original 1961 New York Yankees signed team ball with 24 signatures worth these days if ball appears faded and red from bled stitching?

Answer 1

A 1961 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Kubek, Berra, Mantle, Ford, Howard, Maris, and and Tresh is worth about $2,500.-$3,000. 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. In a recent auction a 1961 New York Yankees Team signed baseball sold for $2,868.00. I can't see the condition of your baseball but the degree of fading, and bleeding will devalue it accordingly. The bulk of the value will be determined by how well the baseball displays the signatures. The bleeding might be caused from the baseball being stored in a humid damp area. The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive handling. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
