What is the value of a softball not in a case autographed by Willie Stargell?

Answer 1

A Willie Stargell Single signed Baseball is worth about $75.-$150. Prices will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

The most preferred baseball to have a player sign would be an Official Major League Baseball from the League the player played in, that was used during the ballplayers playing days. The signed softball could sell at a lower price, but the bulk of the value will still rely on how well the softball displays the signature.

A "case" will not add value to the Willie Stargell signed softball. But not having it in a case could devalue the ball if the ball becomes dirty or if the signature fades. You might want to invest in a ball cube or case with at least 50% UV protection. Even indirect sunlight will fade the signature over time.

The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive handling.
