A 1961 New York Yankees Team signed Baseball with the Key signatures: Kubek, Berra, Mantle, Ford, Howard, Maris, and Tresh is worth about $1,500.-$2,000. Price 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.
The fact that the baseball is game used can lower the value of the signatures based on the condition. The bulk of the value will rely on the signatures, and how well the baseball displays the signatures. A game used baseball with signs of wear, and soil will not make a good display. The value of the baseball as "Game -Used" will rely on the provenance that accompanies it. Otherwise it is just a used baseball.
If the baseball does have provenance proving that the baseball was used in a Major League game by the Yankees, it might add value based on the strength of the provenance. The provenance would have to be from a team official, player or family member. A letter of provenance from a fan or stating it is from a collection is not sufficient. In a recent auction a 1961 Yankees team reunion baseball without Roger Maris sold for $1,200.
