What is the value of a 1927 World Series baseball autographed by Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig and Glen Gabler?

Answer 1

A Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig duel signed Baseball is worth about $15,000. -$30,000. Price will vary based on the type of baseball signed, condition of both the baseball and signatures, and what type of COA that accompanies the signatures. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

In an auction held in May of 2007 a pristine example of this duel signed baseball sold for $33,460. and another sold for $26,290. in October 2007 an excellent duel signed Ruth Gehrig baseball signed with the quotation marks around "Babe" that typified his pre-1928 autograph sold for $14,340.

Lots of these Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig baseballs were signed during Barnstorming tours of the US. Below is a link to a great baseball that sold for about $25,000. The Babe Ruth Autograph signed on the Baseball with the inscription: "I'll Punch Lou in the Nose" and the Lou Gehrig Autograph signed on the Baseball with the inscription: "To my friend Kay from H.L. Gehrig The kid known as Lou" Check it out see Related Links below.

Answer 2

Signed baseballs documenting this era of New York Yankees teams are very collectible and often, very valuable -- especially those dating to the season of 1927, a year in which the Yanks fielded what is considered the best team in major league history. Any ball from this year, and the two years preceding and proceding it, are worth a couple thousand dollars, minimum. If it dates specifically to 1927, its value would rise dramatically. Presuming authenticity, the key factor in value is the specific year and the all-important overall condition of the ball and Autographs. Other key factors include: type of ball ("Official American League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed by ballboys, attendants, etc.), and the total number of signatures present. Both Ruth's and Gehrig's signatures were often signed by others, and as such, the authenticity of their signatures is a critical factor in determining value. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.

Answer 3

A Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig dual signed baseball is worth about $15,000. -$30,000. Price will vary based on the type of baseball signed, condition of both the baseball and signatures, and what type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. If the baseball was inscribed "1935 All Star game" by either Ruth or Gehrig the baseball will have a higher value. If the baseball was used in the 1935 All Star game it could have less of a value based on condition. A clean white baseball would be most preferred to display the signatures. If the baseball was used in the 1935 All Star game, and cannot be proven with a strong letter of provenance it is just a used baseball. A letter of provenance from a team player or league official would be acceptable to prove it is a 1935 All Star game baseball. Then it could have higher value. A letter of provenance from a fan at the game will not hold much weight if any.
