The Mickey Mantle Baseball bat you have is a little league bat, and depending on age and condition could sell between $25.-$75. in used but not abused condition, to unused near/mint condition.
Little League baseball bats will range in size from 28" -31" I will leave a link below to a Louisville Slugger bat dating Guide, and a link for information to other Mickey Mantle baseball bats.
Mickey Mantle Baseball bats can sell from anywhere between $50. to $1,000s depending on a number of factors. You first have to determine if the Bat is a store model bat, a game issued bat, or a game used bat. If the bat has the size on the knob, or reads Flame tempered near the center label you can bet it's a store model. Louisville Sluggers started putting model numbers on the end of the knob of pro bats in 1943. Mantle was known to use Models M110, K55, and P72. K55 is one of the more favored by collectors Another factor in pricing the bat is the age of the bat. I have a chart on my website you may use to easily date the bat. I will include a link for you on the right of this page. Be careful when buying a bat in auction. I have seen many cases where a seller assumes that Mickey Mantle played in the 50s & 60s therefore the bat must have been made during these years. When in fact the bat was made during the 70s, 80s, or even the 90s. The size of the bat will also determine the price of the bat. The size most commonly used by the player will command the most money. Collectors also prefer bats in the 34" range. Little league bats in the 30" range are collectible but will sell for less money. Condition is key in all collectibles. Common flaws that will degrade the bat would be cracks, worn printing, heavily used, or chips on the ends of the bat such as on the knob. In excellent to near mint condition an average Mickey mantle little league bat sells for about $50. An average store model bat about $100. - $200. Game issued and game used will dramatically go up in price, and we start talking $1,000s. I will also include a link to examples of Mickey Mantle store model bats.

Price will vary based on condition, and type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Rare examples of pristine signatures or inscriptions like "The Mick" "HOF 1974" or 536 HR's" could raise the price.
The condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature will dictate the price. Mickey Mantle was under contract with the Upper-Deck company before he passed away.

Mikey SignatureThis would be difficult to put a value on as there are no auctions or a history of sales to base it on. I don't think there would be a large demand for it and it might be more of a novelty to a Mantle collector. If the "Mickey" Signature was properly authenticated as being signed by Mickey Mantle I would think it might fetch about half the value of a full signature or more if there is interest. A full Mickey Mantle signature on a baseball is worth about $600.-$800. If it were signed just "The Mick" it might have a higher value.
Mickey Mantle signed fotoballIt sound like you might have a Mickey Mantle signed fotoball that also features a stamped signature..

Depending on the signatures. In most cases a single signed baseball of a "Noted Player" will be worth more than a multi signed baseball that features the same "Noted player". Using Mickey Mantle as an example of a "Noted Player" vs. an actual Multi signed baseball that sold at auction, and included Mickey Mantle's signature on it. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth between $400.-$800. In two separate auctions a Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Duke Snider Multi-Signed Baseball. (NY center Fielders) very desired Willie Mickey and the Duke baseball sold for $334. and $448. Value is based on the price collectors pay for an Item. There are more collectors of Mickey Mantle memorabilia, and his signature is more sought after than the other two HOF'ers on this baseball. You have to treat this as two separate items. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball, and a Mickey Mantle Multi signed baseball. There are less collectors of Hall of Fame multi signed signatures, than collectors of a Mickey Mantle signature. Therefor a Mickey Mantle Signed baseball will sell at a higher price. A collector of a Mickey Mantle signed baseball might prefer the signature by itself, may not desire the other signatures, and will not pay extra for the others or just pay less for the less desired baseball getting the Mickey Mantle signature at a bargain. This is why you cannot add up the value of each signature to come up with a value. To be a little extreme a David Ortiz single signed baseball might sell in the area of $300.-$400. most of the collectors of this baseball would be a David Ortiz Fan or, and a Boston Red Sox fan. Add a New York Yankees Bucky Dent signature to it. You just removed 99% of the Boston Red Sox collectors from the list of potential buyers. A collector looking for a Bucky Dent signature will not pay extra for the Ortiz signature. The amount of collectors that would desire this baseball has been significantly reduced bringing the price down with it. In some cases you might get more for a pair of signatures than the price of one, but not the total value of the two. I hope this helped you out. It could get confusing. If you have any question get back to me. I will leave a link from my website below. "How much is my autographed baseball?"
2007 Topps Mickey Mantle Autograph cardMickey mantle passed away on August 13, 1995. The 2007 Topps card you have might feature a facsimile signature as Mickey Mantle could not have signed it. If the card was a autographed insert by Topps which a cut signature would have been used then value will rely on the number of inserts that were made that year.

In some cases a single signed baseball of a noted player is worth more than a multi signed baseball with the same player of note. In this case the Mickey Mantle signature would be the most valuable, and the key signature with the other Hall of Fame players on this baseball. I would categorize this baseball as a "Mickey Mantle Multi signed Hall of Fame baseball" And this would be part of the explanation of why a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball would be more valuable than a Multi signed HOF baseball. Value is based on the price collectors pay for an Item. There are more collectors of Mickey Mantle memorabilia, and his signature is more sought after than the other HOF'ers on this baseball.

Of cause the signatures that appear on each baseball are different, and will effect the value, as well as the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures, and condition. Which signature that appears on the "sweet spot" will also effect the value. The baseball that sold for $896. was in great condition, strong signatures, PSA/DNA authenticated, and had the following signatures: Mantle, Herman, Spahn, Koufax, Sewell, Musial, Killebrew, Palmer, Berra, Banks, Marichal, Mays, Lemon, Aparicio, Ford, Aaron and Frank Robinson. With three signatures in common with your baseball with some similar signatures, but more. Two Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider Multi-Signed Baseballs. (NY center Fielders) very desired Willie Mickey and the Duke baseball sold for $334. and $448. This baseball with only three signature might be more desired than the baseball you have. A Mickey Mantle, Wally Post, Ted Kluszewski, and Gus Bell, very sloppy condition sold for sold for $167 Your baseball should do much better that this, and based on the information from these auction I would say that your baseball if properly authenticated in excellent+ condition should be worth at least $350.-$500. signatures that are not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. If the signatures are not authenticated, and if you do not no the origin of the baseball, be sure that the signatures are hand signed, and not facsimile (stamped) signatures.
