The Baseball I believe you are referring to, is the Mickey Mantle commemorative baseball that was used in an official game played on August 25, 1996. A monument in honor of Mickey Mantle who died a year earlier was unveiled in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park that day. The Major League approved, Official American League Gene Budig baseball featured black stitching, a New York 7 with a Mickey Mantle Facsimile signature in black ink. This signature is not hand signed but stamped on.
In August of 1996 the baseballs were made available to the public, and sold for $10.- $12. Today the Baseballs are commonly found on eBay, and sealed in the box sell for about $15.-$20. If the baseball you have is in fact hand signed by Mickey Mantle with the inscription "no. 7" then a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth about $500.-$800. Price will vary based on condition, and type of authenticity that accompanies the signature.
Rare examples of pristine signatures or inscriptions like "The Mick" "no. 7" or 536 HR's" could raise the price to the $1,000. price range. Personal inscription like "Good luck Mike" could sell below $400. A rarely signed full name signature "Mickey Charles Mantle" will break the $2,000 price mark as it did in a May 5th 2007 live eBay auction selling for $2,390. A signature that is not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. The box of the baseball could add some value.
