A David Wells single signed baseball is worth between $50.-$75. 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. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. A perfect game inscription will add value. If the baseball was used during David Wells perfect game it could have a lower value based on condition. A clean white baseball would be most preferred for the signature. Without being able to prove that the baseball was from the perfect game it will not have added value.

A letter from a fan at the game will not hold much weight if any. In a recent auction a David Wells single signed baseball sold for $83.65
