Souvenir team baseballs with Stamped signatures have been made and sold at ballparks, for at least as far back as 1950. The Baseball you have can be a stamped signature baseball. A Stamped signature will usually have the same density, and thickness throughout, and the signature will start, and end with no variation at all.
See Related Links below for samples of souvenir stamped signature baseballs including one from 1965. Check the signatures on your ball to the signatures on the 1965 ball as they will use the same stamp for multiple years. If they are exactly the same you know for sure that you have a souvenir baseball.

What is the value of my 1960's multi player signed New York Yankee Baseball?
1960's New York Yankees multi-signed baseballA 1960's New York Yankees team signed baseball could range anywhere from $300.-$3,000. depending on the year and key Signatures on the ball. If the ball is made up of Yankee players from different years the baseball could have a lower value than a baseball that can be attributed to a single season. Then you would need to use the key signatures on your baseball and compare the key signatures on other team baseballs to find a ballpark figure. Mantle and Maris are two key signatures that will drive the value up.

Because you stated that the ball is "still in its original packaging" I have to bring up the possibility that your baseball is a Souvenir baseball with facsimile (Stamped) signatures. A lot of people mistaken facsimile signatures as authentic. Facsimile signatures are printed on, as opposed to authentic hand signed signatures. If the signatures are signed with a felt pen for example, the ink will tend to be heavier at points where the pen started, stopped or slowed while signing. Lighter, thinner, or less dense when the pen is quickened or coming off the item. With facsimile signatures the ink will trend to be more uniform, or the same density throughout. If it is a souvenir baseball it would be worth between $25.-$40. in excellent-near/mint condition.

How many signatures are required to be called a team signed baseball mean?
The minimum number of signatures to be considered to be a team signed baseball would most likely vary from collector to collector. For the most part 15, 17, 21, 25 or more.
