Why is a Mickey Mantle Yogi Berra dual signed baseball less in value than a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball?

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 price of the signature(s) over a period of time. The value could go up or down depending on the number of collectors looking to buy that signature(s) at that time, and the number of signatures that are available in the market. Supply and demand.
A Mickey Mantle signature is worth about $400.-$600. A Yogi Berra signature is worth about $65. -$120.This is typically the price range collectors pay for these signatures, and the value will vary based on the authenticity, the condition of the signatures, availability, and the number of collectors in the market. Understand as well that this value is a price guide not a set price given to the signatures. It is a report of what collectors are paying.
As collectors enter the market for a Mickey Mantle or a Yogi Berra signature this is about the price they will pay for each. A collector looking for a Mickey Mantle signature is not looking to buy a Yogi Berra signature, and will not pay more for the extra signature that is not desired. In most cases that collector will prefer the signature alone. It works both ways. If a collector is looking to buy a Yogi Berra signature why pay more for the added Mantle signature that is not desired. A collector in the Market for a Mickey Mantle signature might pay less for the duel signed Baseball looking to save money for the more expensive single signed signature.
A Yogi Berra Mickey Mantle Dual signed baseball is worth about $300. - $400. This does not mean that it could not sell for more. (or less)
Bottom Line: The number of collectors that are in the market for a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is greater than the number of collectors in the market for a Mickey Mantle Yogi Berra Dual signed baseball. More collectors bidding against each other for an item will drive the price up.

What is the value of a Brooks Robinson and Mickey Mantle autographed baseball?
A Brooks Robinson single signed baseball is worth about $60.-$70. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth about $400.-$600. I have never come across a Mickey Mantle Brooks Robinson dual signed baseball. They would be rare but by having Brooks Robinson sign a Mickey Mantle signed baseball it will lower the value. If a Mickey Mantle Brooks Robinson dual signed baseball were to come up in auction it would most likely sell below $400. 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.
Is a signed baseball more valuable with just one signature or more?
Depending on the signatures. In most cases a single signed baseball of a "Noted Player" will be worth more than a multi signed baseball that features the same "Noted player". Using Mickey Mantle as an example of a "Noted Player" vs. an actual Multi signed baseball that sold at auction, and included Mickey Mantle's signature on it. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth between $400.-$800. In two separate auctions a Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Duke Snider Multi-Signed Baseball. (NY center Fielders) very desired Willie Mickey and the Duke baseball sold for $334. and $448. Value is based on the price collectors pay for an Item. There are more collectors of Mickey Mantle memorabilia, and his signature is more sought after than the other two HOF'ers on this baseball. You have to treat this as two separate items. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball, and a Mickey Mantle Multi signed baseball. There are less collectors of Hall of Fame multi signed signatures, than collectors of a Mickey Mantle signature. Therefor a Mickey Mantle Signed baseball will sell at a higher price. A collector of a Mickey Mantle signed baseball might prefer the signature by itself, may not desire the other signatures, and will not pay extra for the others or just pay less for the less desired baseball getting the Mickey Mantle signature at a bargain. This is why you cannot add up the value of each signature to come up with a value. To be a little extreme a David Ortiz single signed baseball might sell in the area of $300.-$400. most of the collectors of this baseball would be a David Ortiz Fan or, and a Boston Red Sox fan. Add a New York Yankees Bucky Dent signature to it. You just removed 99% of the Boston Red Sox collectors from the list of potential buyers. A collector looking for a Bucky Dent signature will not pay extra for the Ortiz signature. The amount of collectors that would desire this baseball has been significantly reduced bringing the price down with it. In some cases you might get more for a pair of signatures than the price of one, but not the total value of the two. I hope this helped you out. It could get confusing. If you have any question get back to me. I will leave a link from my website below. "How much is my autographed baseball?"

What is the value of a baseball autographed by Mickey Mantle Early Wynn Lefty Gomez Bob Feller Billy Herman and Ernie Banks?
In some cases a single signed baseball of a noted player is worth more than a multi signed baseball with the same player of note. In this case the Mickey Mantle signature would be the most valuable, and the key signature with the other Hall of Fame players on this baseball. I would categorize this baseball as a "Mickey Mantle Multi signed Hall of Fame baseball" And this would be part of the explanation of why a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball would be more valuable than a Multi signed HOF baseball. Value is based on the price collectors pay for an Item. There are more collectors of Mickey Mantle memorabilia, and his signature is more sought after than the other HOF'ers on this baseball. You have to treat this as two separate items. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball, and a Multi signed baseball. There are less collectors of Hall of Fame multi signed signatures, than collectors of a Mickey Mantle signature. Therefor a Mickey Mantle Signed baseball will sell at a higher price. A collector of a Mickey Mantle signed baseball might prefer the signature by itself, may not desire the other signatures, and will not pay extra for the others or just pay less for the less desired baseball. This is why you cannot add up the value of each signature to come up with a value. A single signed Mickey Mantle Baseball is worth about $400..-$800. I checked an auction house for Mickey Mantle Multi signed baseballs and found 5 baseballs that sold between $131. - $896 averaging around $350. Of cause the signatures that appear on each baseball are different, and will effect the value, as well as the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures, and condition. Which signature that appears on the "sweet spot" will also effect the value. The baseball that sold for $896. was in great condition, strong signatures, PSA/DNA authenticated, and had the following signatures: Mantle, Herman, Spahn, Koufax, Sewell, Musial, Killebrew, Palmer, Berra, Banks, Marichal, Mays, Lemon, Aparicio, Ford, Aaron and Frank Robinson. With three signatures in common with your baseball with some similar signatures, but more. Two Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider Multi-Signed Baseballs. (NY center Fielders) very desired Willie Mickey and the Duke baseball sold for $334. and $448. This baseball with only three signature might be more desired than the baseball you have. A Mickey Mantle, Wally Post, Ted Kluszewski, and Gus Bell, very sloppy condition sold for sold for $167 Your baseball should do much better that this, and based on the information from these auction I would say that your baseball if properly authenticated in excellent+ condition should be worth at least $350.-$500. signatures that are not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. If the signatures are not authenticated, and if you do not no the origin of the baseball, be sure that the signatures are hand signed, and not facsimile (stamped) signatures. For more info on facsimile signatures, and autographed baseballs read my newsletter "How Much is my autographed baseball" I will leave a couple of links below.

What is the value of a baseball signed by Mickey Mantle and Cal Ripken Sr?
In a lot of examples a single signed baseball could be worth more than a multi signed baseball. One example that stands out is a David Wells owned Babe Ruth Single signed baseball that he had Barry Bonds sign. David took a lot of criticism in that by having Bonds sign the baseball it was devalued. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball could be worth between $600.-$800. Adding a less desired Cal Ripken Sr autograph to the baseball will devalue it. First thing A collector looking to buy a Mickey Mantle signature will prefer to have it alone with no other signatures. That collector will pay more for the signature by itself than with another. Multi signed baseballs should have a theme to hold value. MVP players, 300 game winners, 500 HR club etc. Two players signed on one baseball with no relation will most likely fetch less money. For an example of a good combination Cal Ripken Jr. (not Sr.) might be desired by collectors if it were signed on a baseball with Lou Gehrig. Both being the Iron men of baseball. This would be a very unique and rare combination and could fetch big bucks. But there would still be collectors that would prefer Lou Gehrig by itself. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball will be worth more money than one with Cal Ripken Sr. Value will be determined by how much a collector that is interested in both will pay for it.
