How much would a signed baseball from the 1951-52 New York Yankees baseball team be worth?
I was given a baseball as a kid that the entire Yankees World Series Team signatures. The only two that I can remember are Mickey Mantle and Al Whitey (sp?). I am not sure exactly what year the baseball is from because they won a lot in the early 50s, but I was wondering what the value of this ball might be and also how to get it authenticated. Thanks!
The value depends on a number of factors.
1) What kind of ball is it? An official MLB or World Series ball would be worth more.
2) What condition is the ball in? Has it been stored for 50 years or did some kid play with it?
3) What condition are the signatures? Are they clear or have they been exposed to light?
4) The year and who signed it. It would be better if the whole team signed it.
Key signatures during the 50's for the Yankees would be Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto, Yogi Berra, Billy Martin, Johnny Mize, Enos Slaughter, casey Stengel, Don Larsen, etc.
There was never anybody named Al Whitey on the Yankees. To determine the year you would need to decipher more signatures. Posting a scan of the ball on photobucket would allow others to help.
The authenticate it you should contact two of the more popular authenticators, PSA/DNA and James Spence Authentic. Go to their web sites for details.
