What is the value of a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio Jackie Robinson Frank Frisch and others I believe it is a game ball signed by all of two teams with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig on the sweet spot?

Answer 1

The value of multi signed baseballs cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up.

Value is based on the selling prices of the signatures over a period of time. The value could go up or down depending on the number of collectors looking to buy that group of signatures at that time, and the number of signatures that are available in the market. Supply and demand.

The bulk of the value of your Baseball will rely on the sweet spot signatures Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig, and the Jackie Robinson signature. If the Jackie Robinson signature can be viewed on the same side of the baseball as the Ruth and Gehrig signatures as its displayed it will have a higher value. The same will go for other key signatures as the Frankie Frisch, and Joe DiMaggio signatures.

The names of the players you mentioned did not play for just two teams, but at least three different teams. Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants (Frankie Frisch), and because Jackie Robinson did not begin his career until 1947, an All Star game is ruled out as well.

If the baseball was used in a game it could lower the value based on condition. A clean White baseball would be most preferred to display the signatures. If the baseball is soiled or shows game use it will lower the value of the signatures.

In general the Multi signed baseball with the Key signatures: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Frankie Frisch, and Joe DiMaggio could sell in the $10,000. - $20,000. price range. The price might vary based on condition, (especially the Ruth, Gehrig, and Robinson signatures) and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
