A Babe Ruth single signed Baseball is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. A Willie Mays single signed baseball is worth about $125.-$200.
I have never seen a Babe Ruth Willie Mays duel signed baseball. They would be rare but by adding a Willie Mays signature to a Babe Ruth signed baseball it will lower the value. If a Babe Ruth Willie Mays duel signed baseball were to come up in auction it would most likely sell below $6,000.
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. Signatures that are not properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
