Whats the value of a 1943 Yankees autographed bat?

Answer 1

Your bat is worth slightly more than a team-signed Yankees ball from the same year and according to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," a ball should fetch between $250-400, with value being greater or lower depending on exact year and players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris - plus the all-important overall condition of the bat and Autographs. Other key factors include type of bat, and whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. The authenticity of the Mantle and Maris signatures are of particular importance, as both used "ghost-signers" extensively. These factors, plus the authenticity of all the significant signatures are the main variables in determining value. And, question: are you sure this bat is actually signed, or is it possibly a Yankees' American League Champions "Black Bat," with engraved signatures - a commemorative piece given to players at the close of the season?
