According to the collector's guide "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth $350, but this value can be greater or lower depending on players present - in particular the inclusion of Hall of Famers Walt Alston, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, among others - as well as 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 number of signatures present. Stars' signatures were often signed by clubhouse attendants, so the authenticity of their autographs are a big factor in value. These factors, plus the authenticity of the all the significant signatures are the main variables in determining value.
