You're no doubt referring to a 1976 Cincinatti Reds team signed ball. According to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth between $250-350, with value being greater or lower depending on exact players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of "Big Red Machine" players Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, and Joe Morgan - plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and Autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official National League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and total number of signatures present. These factors, plus the authenticity of the all the significant signatures are the main variables in determining value. == Please feel free to contact me at stockyard2000@aol.com with pictures or additional questions regarding this ball or any vintage Sports Memorabilia.
