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.
A baseball without the signatures of Mantle or Maris will sell significantly lower. In a recent auction a 1961 Yankees team reunion baseball without Roger Maris sold for $1,200.00.
