Stan Musial Autographed Baseball - $???

I have no idea what this is worth. It is an official ball and was signed by Musial a good time ago. My uncle got it signed personally and gave it to me. If someone is interested I can try and find out the exact story and when it was signed. I know it is fairly old because I've had it for a long time.

Just give me an offer. I could put a price on it but I don't know the worth so I'm sure it would be a stupid guess.

 

PM Sent......

 

What are you looking to get for the ball? Let me know.

 

not sure what the ball is worth, but a quick search on ebay, shows about $50 with PSA/DNA certificate...

I think similar thing?

 

PM me and throw me an offer. I'm going to find out what it is worth today, but I will sell it for less because I have no need for the ball.

I saw those. But is this ball worth the same even though this is ACTUALLY signed by Musial at a game? I'm not saying I think it is worth more, I was just pretty sure most of those ***** with the certificates are just prints and not his real signature. As you can tell, my sig looks a little different than those in the picture and all of those look the EXACT same.

 

If I were you I would take it to a store and try to get it appraised...I am sure its worth more than $50

 

I am going to try and find somewhere that will appraise it today.

 

I use to collect a lot, but haven't done so in many years, but PSA is a grading and authentication company. They basically guarantee it is a real signature and they match it up with a serial number.

Appraisal wise, I believe the ones with the PSA/DNA ones would be worth more, but I may be wrong. It's like getting GIA or another company for diamonds, certified is worth more.

Let us know how much it gets appraised for.

 

I doubt you'd get what these guys as ak they're a retailer but, as a compaison they have ***** from $125 - $255 here

 

I couldn't find someone who could truely appraise it. I had a guy at a local card shop tell me he tought it was worth about $75 or so, maybe up to $100, but would be worth a lot more when he dies. I had no idea he was 86 years old.

 

I'd hang on to it, doesn't seem worth selling it for that amount and it will only appreciate in value.

 

I probably won't unless someone offers me a good amount.

 

Dude that Ball is worth $50 TOPS! It is 100% PERSONAL VALUE! Those PSA things are the ONLY thing that given it any CRED/MARKET VALUE.

RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!

 

There are a bunch of factors that go into the value of an autographed baseball:

1) Authenticity - as mentioned earlier, a certificate of authenticity from a reputable organization (PSA/DNA is considered reputable) helps to increase value. The ball offered in this thread, while very likely authentic, will be tougher to sell w/o a COA.

2) Provenance - a ball that is verified from a seminal event (e.g. a player's 500th HR) will have additional value. A ball signed in other circumstances (i.e. whether at a show or at the ballpark) is not going to be worth more or less. Sentimental value doesn't warrant any sort of premium for most collectors.

3) Scarcity - Musial has always been generous with his autograph, and also has done many signings thru the decades. Basic economic theory that when supply is greater than demand, prices go down. OTOH, Joe DiMaggio was notorious for not signing unless he was being paid large amounts of money to do so, so auto'ed memorabilia of his was always expensive even while he was alive. A most extreme example is Shoeless Joe Jackson, whose autograph is worth significant sums b/c so few of them exist.

4) Death - morbid as it is, the death of an HOF'er will result in an increase in value of their autograph, as the collectors market realizes there will not be any additional genuine autographs available.

5) The baseball - older official baseballs are worth more than newer versions. How much depends on how old it is. The memorabilia market exploded in the 80s, so a ball from the 70s or earlier would carry some premium (but not hundreds of dollars more, unless it's a pristine ball from the 50s). **** Who is the Commissioner on your baseball?? ****

It's unlikely you'll get an offer much above $100 for your ball, even with the fact that it's likely an older official ball.

 

I already got an offer at $75 on here. And I know the PSA things are not the only thing that give something like this value.

Thanks man. I guess I should try and find out how old the ball is. I think I've had it since I was 3-4 (1989-1990) and I think my uncle got it when he was younger (He is 55 now). So I should just wait until his (Musials) death?
