Chicago Cubs

Originally formed as an amateur team less than a decade after the Civil War (1874), the Chicago Cubs joined the National League for its initial season in 1876. They were originally known as the Chicago White Stockings and they were also later known as the Colts and Orphans but for the 1902 season they had changed their name to the Cubs. This category is for questions about the players, the coaches, records, the ball park and anything else about the team.

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.

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

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 is a 1952 Chicago Cubs yearbook worth?

Asked by Wiki User

The 1952 Chicago Cubs Yearbook with the cover picturing a large 52 with the Cubs logo has a book value of $100.00 - $110.00 in near/mint condition.

Condition is very important on getting anywhere near this price. Common flaws with yearbooks would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading color, stains, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. These flaws could bring the value down as much as half the market value or less. A real nice mint condition copy could sell for more.

A 1955 Chicago Cubs Team Signed Baseball with the key signature: Ernie Banks is worth about $300-$350. 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. A Jackie Robinson single signed baseball is worth about $3,000.-$4,000. and would most likely be worth a lot more than a 1955 Chicago Cubs Team Signed Baseball with a Jackie Robinson signature. It is difficult to put a value on a multi signed baseball. The value of the signatures cannot be added up to come up with a total. Multi-signed baseballs are valued as a whole, and how desired the signatures are as a group. With no connection to the Chicago Cubs, the Jackie Robinson signature will be devalued. A collector in the market for a Jackie Robinson signature would not desire the signature on a Chicago Cubs team signed baseball. The baseball might be more desired by a Cubs collector, That might desire the Jackie Robinson signature. Comparing prices of JacKie Robinson Brooklin Dodgers team signed baseball I would estimate the value of your baseball at about $600.-$1,000. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.

A Jimmy Foxx signed 8 x 10 photo is worth about $1,000.- $1,500. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature.

Photo composition, appeal, and how well the photo displays the signature will effect the value. The type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the photograph will also effect the price. Larger and more desired pictures could sell for more.

In a 2007 auction a Jimmy Foxx signed 5 x 7 photo sold for $776.75 Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

How much is a autographed Phil Niekro baseball worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is difficult to put a value on multi signed items. The value of the signatures cannot be added up to come up with a total. Multi-signed items are valued as a whole, and how desired the signatures are as a group. Players of the same team, or players with the same achievements such as 500 home run hitters 300 game winners for example will fall into a "Group" that will be sought after by collectors. When you have a group of random signature it is difficult to gage what the item would sell for on the market. A common group of players such as Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and the Duke Snider (1950's NY center fielders) would be easier to value as this combination of player often comes up for auction. Add Phil Niekro to this combo and you will lower the value. It is no longer a NY center fielders group of signatures. Hall of Famer signatures are desired but even then, collectors will be choosy on the players they want to pay for. Pitchers are less desired on baseball bats as this is not the tool of their trade. Based on similar auctions of compatible players I would estimate the value of the Phil Niekro Willie McCovey Yogi Berra Duke Snider signed baseball bat at about $250.-$350. more or less depending on how well the bat displays the signatures, condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

Price will vary based on condition of both the signatures, the program, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The paper of the program could tend to deteriorate over time, and collectors will not pay top dollar. Part of the value will be determined by how well the program displays the signature. The type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the cover.

Which side of the football field is the strong side?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Football Field Strong SideThe term "strong side" generally refers to the offensive team formation and not the field itself. In an unbalanced formation with more offensive players on one side of the center than the other, the side with more players is considered the "strong side." The extra man is usually the tight end and with a right-handed quarterback, he will normally line up on the right side of the line. Hence, the right side of the offensive team's line is usually the "strong side."

Some offensive systems designate the strong side as the side which is farthest from the sideline; for example, if the ball is on the right hashmark, strong side is on the left side of the ball, and vice versa. This is more often used in Canadian football, as with 12 players on the field a balanced formation is possible.
