On September 6, 1995 Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played, 2131. It was no secret that this was going to happen, All he had to do is show up for the game, and because of this the Orioles were able to print up commemorative programs & tickets for the game.
The commemorative ticket "books" for $90.-$100. and the Game day Ticket about $200. The reason I quoted the "Book" value is because this value reflects the price of theses collectibles when it was a hot item, and everyone wanted one. Now 12+ years later most everyone that wanted one has one. Demand is down, the dust has cleared, and two tickets for this game recently sold for $35. on eBay. A good buy? Yes. I would put the current value at about $35.-$50. a Ticket, and in the years to come as more collectors join the market they will rise in value. Back to the "Book Value" price. A ticket Stub might sell for half that price.
A 1994 Full unused ticket, from the Historic day Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 2000 consecutive game, Hand signed by the "Iron Man himself is worth about $125. - $175. This game ticket marked a milestone, only one other player in major league history ever reached, Lou Gehrig. The game was played on Monday, Aug. 1 1994 at the Minnesota Twins, Metrodome. The bulk of the value will rely on the signature. If the signature is not authenticated it could sell at half the market value or less.
A Cal Ripken Jr. Signed ticket from his last game is worth about $75.-$150. value may vary based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, and how well the ticket displays the signature. Signatures that are not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
Once a collectible Item such as a ticket is signed it looses it's value as a collectible ticket, and becomes an item to display the signature. The bulk of the value now relies on the value of the signature. To the ticket collector the signature would be considered a flaw in the condition of the ticket. The signed ticket would be desired by the autograph collector. A ticket with a high collectors value like Cal Ripken's last game would be desired, and could add some value to the signature.

Special baseballs were used for Cal Ripken Jr's 2131'st consecutive game played but, these baseballs were also made available to the public. The baseballs are worth about $10.-$20. in near/mint condition with the box. The added value of the baseball being used in game 2131 will rely on your ability to prove so. The stronger the provenance the more valuable. A letter of provenance from a player, team or league official would be acceptable. A letter from a fan that attended the game would hold little weight if any. If you cannot supply such provenance the baseball will be valued as a used baseball, not a game used baseball, and could have a lower value based on condition. The value of the baseball will rely on the weight the buyer of the baseball puts in your story.
