What is the value of a baseball signed by Willie Mays with certificate of Authenticity?

Asked by Wiki User

A 500 Home Run Club signed baseball could sell anywhere from $800. -$1,200. and up depending on which members appear on the baseball. A baseball with only the following signature Ted Williams Mickey Mantle Ed Matthews Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew the baseballs might sell in the $500. price range. 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.

What is the value of a baseball signed by Babe Ruth and Willie Mays?

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming the signatures on the balls are authentic, the value and interest to collectors becomes a function of: 1) the clarity, legibility and overall condition of the signatures on the ball(s), 2) the condition and type of ball ("Official American League"?), and possibly, 3) the provenance; where and when obtained, may also dramatically affect value. If genuine, this ball would be worth between $1500 to as much as $2500, depending on the aforementioned factors. One of the most prized signatures in the hobby a Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The type of baseball will also effect the price with an Official American league baseball from Ruth's playing days being of the most value.

A baseball in poor condition with a weak signature could sell in the $4,000. price range or less, and a minty baseball with a strong signature could sell in the $15,000 price range or more.

A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value as well. To show that the baseball was signed in 1929 the ball might have to be dated by the Babe or Lou. This will be considered an inscription, and sell for more.

A Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig duel signed baseball is worth about $15,000. -$30,000. Price will vary based on the type of baseball signed, condition of both the baseball and signatures, and what type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

In an auction held in May of 2007 a pristine example of this duel signed baseball sold for $33,460. and another sold for $26,290. in October 2007 an excellent duel signed Ruth Gehrig baseball signed with the quotation marks around "Babe" sold for $14,340.

Lots of these Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig baseballs were signed during Barnstorming tours of the US. Below is a link to a great baseball that sold for about $25,000.

Asked by Wiki User

A Willie Mays signed 8 x 10 photo is worth about $50.-$125. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Photo composition, and how well the signature stands out in contrast to the photograph will also effect the price. A signature signed in Sharpie would be most preferred for a photo. Larger and more desired pictures could sell for more. A 4 x 6 sized photocould sell for less.

In a recent auction a Willie Mays signed 8 x 10 photo sold for $95.60

Signatures that are not properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Like your 4 x 6 photo, some Picture Pack Photos were made the same size. Be sure that your photo is hand signed, and not a facsimile signature. Picture pack photos are a very popular souvenir sold at all Major league Stadiums for years. They also feature a facsimile signature that is not hand signed but a copy. A preprint signature or a facsimile often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo, and the signature is often very "flat." Hold the photo up at an angle to a light source. A real signature is written on the surface of the photo, and should have a different level of reflectivity than the rest of the surface. A preprint will blend right in with the surface because it's underneath the surface gloss. For more information on Willie Mays signatures visit the link below.

Asked by Wiki User

This is likely a ball signed by the members of the 1939 National League All-Star team, as all the key players mentioned starred on NL clubs, and participated in the 1939 game. National League commissioner Ford C. Frick's "signature" is likely a stamped autograph, and is an identifier featured on all Official National League balls produced during the era. According to the collector's guide "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth $650, but this value can be greater or lower depending on players present and the all-important condition of the ball and autographs. Other key factors include type of ball, whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of overall signatures.

A San Francisco Giants team signed baseball with the names Willie Mays, and Willie McCovey can be from the years 1959 - 1972, and could be worth anywhere from $200.- $1,000. To get a more accurate value you need to determine what year the team that signed the baseball is from.

Visit the San Francisco Giants Team Signed Baseball Price Guide (see Related Links below for the page). 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.
