What is value of 1961 Yankees team signed baseball with a Mantle clubhouse signature?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A 1968 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Mantle, Bahnsen, and Stottlemyre is worth about $300.-$400.

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.

If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. For more information on team signed baseballs, links to full team rosters, key signatures, and price guide visit the following page from the link I left below.

How many innings are there in a season of baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For an individual team, 162 games X 9 innings per game = 1,458. That's assuming all games last a full nine innings, which is not always the case. A game CAN be called "complete" at any point after the end of the 5th inning, provided both teams have an equal number of offensive innings, if weather conditions prohibit the continuation of play. I have no idea how often this happens. Also, if the home team is leading in the middle of the ninth inning (or the middle of the 5th-8th if weather forces a stop in play), there is no need to play the bottom half of the inning, and the game is considered complete. And since the home team has a slight advantage in a game, I would say about half of all games end this way. So, even without the 5- to 8-inning weather games, about half of all games end at 8.5 innings. For all teams combined: There are 30 teams, each of which plays 1,458 innings, but since each game involves 2 teams, you have to divide that by 2. 21,870 innings. Again, that doesn't allow for games called at 5, 6, 7, 8, or 8.5 innings. Also, sometimes one or more additional games are required at the end of the regular season to break divisional or wildcard race ties. These are not included. Nor, for that matter, are playoff games and world series games.

David Ortiz signed 8x10 Photo

A David Ortiz signed 8x10 Photo is worth about $100.-$150. Prices will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Photo composition, how well the photo displays the signature, the type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the photograph will also effect the price. Sharpie would be most preferred for a photo. Larger and more desired pictures could sell for more. Signatures authenticated by companies such as Steiner sports, or Mounted Memories that use authentication holograms sell at the higher price.

How much is a 1972 Gillette All-Star Promotion autographed baseball worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gillette sponsored most of the all star games in the early 1970s. Finding promotional items from Gillette from 1972 such as posters, and All-star ballots together with the baseball will increase the value. If the ball was purchased with a mail away promotion any documentation of this like a mail in coupon, or advertising for the promotional baseball will also increase the value further. The Facsimile autographs on the Baseball will also determine the value appealing to collectors of a noted player. I believe ballplayers such as Carl Yastrzemski, Nolan Ryan, Brooks Robinson, and Reggie Jackson are on this ball and would be very desirable to the collectors of these ball players. Facsimile Baseballs from this era typically sell for $25.00 - $40.00. But by putting the ball together with the items described above, and Targeting collectors of players that are on the ball will double the value if not more. If the baseball was a souvenir bought at the stadium the price might be slightly lower.

Where can i go to get your signed baseball authenticated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Authenticating a Baseball Autograph

Compare Compare Compare..Look online or in hobby shops for other autograpghs by the same player. Although some players have been known to change their signature style (esp. Andruw Jones), they usually dont. If the others look like your's, then you probably have the real thing. For signatures made with a marker instead of a pen, look at the writing closely. Look for streaks which would be made by a hand-held marker and would not be present if the object was stamped with ink.

PSA/DNA or JSA

An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the market value or less. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it.

Check the respective websites Show Schedule to see if they will be in the area that you live. They also do business through the mail. If you did not aquire the signatures yourself, or are not sure of its origin, do your homework. Before spending money on having the autograph authenticated find signatures on line that have been properly authenticated, and compare them to yours. If you feel comfortable that they are authentic then proceed. Try these helpful Links below for comparing signatures.

How much is a 500 Home Run Club autographed baseball worth?

Asked by Wiki User

Eleven Living members of the 500 Home Run ClubA 500 Home Run Club signed baseball could sell anywhere from $800. -$1,200. and up depending on which members appear on the baseball.

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.

In a recent eBay auction (Feb. 2011), a 500 home run club baseball sold for $1,025.

How much does an autographed baseball sell for?

Asked by Wiki User

The value of the baseball will rely on the player that signed the baseball. If it is a team baseball you could look up the team at the Team Signed Baseball Price Guide (Link located Blow.) The price guide features links to full team rosters to help you figure out what year the baseball is from. Searching for the players that played the least amount of time for the team will help you figure it out quicker. Once you have narrowed it down to one year the price guide also provides a list of key signatures for that year. These signatures are the most important on getting top value. Once you have narrowed it down to one year you can find the value. If the baseball is signed by various players from both years then the baseball might have less value. If you need the value of a single signed baseball contact me and I'll help you out.
