The value is dependent solely on the particular League Commissioner whose name is stamped on the ball and whose name should appear on all packaging. The older, the more valuable. $50-150 would be the norm, based on era. Some time around 1876, Albert G. Spalding and his brother, J. Walter Spalding, obtained the right to produce the official National League baseball, which they would continue to produce for the next 100 years. The American League, formally the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs combined with the National league in 1901 to form Major League baseball. Alfred James Reach, owner of The Reach sporting Goods company, sold his company to Spalding in 1889. Spalding continued to use the Reach label produced American League baseballs beginning in 1901. American League baseballs with the Reach Trademark had Red & Blue stitching, and the National League Spalding Trademark baseballs had Black & Red stitching up until about 1934/35 when in both league started using only red stitching. Spalding along with the Reach label was producing Major league baseball for about 100 years until Rawlings took over around 1970, and Rawlings have been making major league baseballs ever since. Your baseball could be worth anywhere between $500. -$1,200. depending on the date the baseball was manufactued without the original bag. The League President whose name is stamped on the ball will help date the baseball, along with the trademarks stamped on the ball. The fact that the baseball came in a bag might date the ball to an early era. See Related Links below for more information, pictures, and price guide for Official Major League baseballs.

Who decided the baseball should be red and white?
Dark leather was used for the cover of the earliest baseballs because it was readily available and easier for the players to see when the ball was hit in the air on a clear day. In fact, famed baseball writer Henry Chadwick advocated using a dark red leather base ball as late as 1875 and stated so in the 1875 DeWitt's Baseball Umpire's Guide. White baseballs were later introduced (1861) because most ball fields at the time had heavily wooded area back drops, and it was easier to see the white ball. American League baseballs with the Reach Trademark had Red & Blue stitching, and the National League Spalding Trademark baseballs had Black & Red stitching up until about 1934/35 when in both league started using only red stitching. Why red stitching was used instead of another color could be just by chance.

A team from the 1980s, a 1980s baseball. (same League) You could find these baseballs on eBay. Just make sure that the ball you purchase is clean, and like new.
