What is the value of a baseball signed by Ed Ford Mickey Mantle Roger Maris Mel Stottlemyer and others with a New York Yankee stamp on it?

Answer 1

According to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth between $400-650, with value being greater or lower depending on exact the year and players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Casey Stengel - plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and Autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official American League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. The authenticity of the Mantle & Maris signatures are of particular importance. Your ball is not an "Official AL," so that hurts value a bit and also raises more concern about the possibilty of clubhouse signatures. These factors, plus the authenticity of key signatures are the main variables in determining value. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authenticating, appraisal, and selling process.

A 1959 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Stengel, Kubek, Berra, Slaughter, Mantle, Ford, Howard, Larsen, and Martin is worth about $800-$1,000.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
