A 500 Home Run Club signed Baseball could sell anywhere from $800. -$1,200. and up depending on which members appear on the baseball. A baseball with only the following signature Ted Williams Mickey Mantle Ed Matthews Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew the baseballs might sell in the $500. price range. 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.
The 500 Club signed baseballs became popular in the late 1980's -1990's when promoters for autograph signings put together the shows or signings featuring the "Eleven Living" members of the 500 Home Run Club. A 500 Home Run Club Lithograph From the art of Ron Lewis was the center piece for these signatures.
The most common 500 club baseballs feature these 11 members: Ted Williams, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews and Willie McCovey Baseballs with these signatures typically sell for about $1,000.-$1,200.
If the signatures listed above were to have the signatures of earlier 500 home run club members like Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Mell Ott, the value will shoot through the roof. This baseball would be too rare to quote a price and I have never seen one up for auction.
Today. there are 23 members of the 500 Home Run Club. (and growing fast) Various combinations or additional signatures to the original 11 living members will vary in price accordingly, and the original 11 living members can be used as a base to determine value.
