What would a game-used 1936 World Series baseball autographed by the whole team including Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio in mint condition be worth?

Answer 1

Hard to say. It depends a great deal on the condition of both the ball and the signatures, which you have described as mint. The condition of the Ruth, Gehrig, and DiMaggio signatures is more important that the condition of the other signatures. You say it's signed by the whole team, how many signatures are included? Also, having provenance to prove that the ball was used in the 1936 world series is helpful. I'd guess the ball is worth several thousand dollars, at least. If possible, send pictures to my email address. According to the collector's price guide "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth $1700, but this value can be greater or lower depending on players present, plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and Autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official American League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for ballplayers by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. Player autographs were often signed by clubhouse attendants, so authenticity of the key signatures is still the main factor in determining overall value.
