What are the values of baseballs with stamped signatures of players?

Answer 1

Souvenir Baseballs, with Facsimile Autographs (Stamped) were Sold at ballparks across the country. These souvenir baseballs have been a fan favorite for decades, and is one of the first souvenirs kids get when they go to their first Major League Baseball game. Most of them have been used to submission, or the signatures faded over the years. But the few that make it through the years are desirable. Newer souvenir baseballs (1980's +) sell for $10-$15 Pre 1980's $20 - $35 and Pre 1970's as high as $100. Vintage souvenir baseballs featuring player like Mantle & Maris could sell for more. Other facsimile (stamped) baseballs could be premiums that were given away with Baseball gloves, or made available through special offers. These baseball will be worth more especially if it is accompanied with the original offer or advertising. In the 1950's Rawlings had an offer for a Mickey Mantle Baseball with a Facsimile Signature for $1.45. This baseball today sells between $250. $400. in its original package. Other examples of facsimile baseballs are salesman samples that were given away to dealers when they order a certain amount of goods. These baseballs typically have signatures of various all Star players of the era. I have included links to samples of these type of baseballs for you convenience.
