If the Baseball cannot be properlly authenticated as a baseball hit by Roger Maris for a home run in game 5 of the 1960 World Series, the baseball is just a used baseball. The value of the baseball will rely on how much weight the buyer of the baseball puts on the story of the baseball being authentic. Without a strong letter of provenance proving that the baseball was hit for a home run, it cannot be sold as such. Provenance is the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item. A letter form a team player or official would be sufficient, a letter from a fan at the game would not hold much weight if any.
