Answer 1

Mickey Mantle single Red Ink signed baseballA Mickey Mantle single signed Baseball is worth about $400.-$600. Price will vary based on condition, and type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Rare examples of a pristine signature or inscriptions like "The Mick" "HOF 1974" or 536 HR's" could raise the price to the $1,000. price range. Personal inscription like "Good luck Mike" could sell below $400. A rarely signed full name signature "Mickey Charles Mantle" will break the $2,000 price mark as it did in a May 5th 2007 live eBay auction selling for $2,390.

After condition the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature will dictate the price. Mickey Mantle was under contract with the Upper-Deck company before he passed away. Baseballs that have the Upper deck hologram could sell in the $1,000.-$1,500. price range.

The Red ink signed baseball will lower the value but, if you have documentation linking the baseball to the sweepstakes it might add value. A letter of authentication is still a must. signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
