Because you stated that the ball is "still in its original packaging" I have to bring up the possibility that your baseball is a Souvenir baseball with facsimile (Stamped) signatures. A lot of people mistaken facsimile signatures as authentic. Facsimile signatures are printed on, as opposed to authentic hand signed signatures. If the signatures are signed with a felt pen for example, the ink will tend to be heavier at points where the pen started, stopped or slowed while signing. Lighter, thinner, or less dense when the pen is quickened or coming off the item. With facsimile signatures the ink will trend to be more uniform, or the same density throughout. If it is a souvenir baseball it would be worth between $25.-$40. in excellent-near/mint condition.
