Presque tous les jours, on me demande : « Quelle vaut ma balle de baseball ? » Cela dépend de nombreux facteurs, notamment de la personne qui l'a signé.
Pour les besoins de cet article, je vais simplement parler de la façon dont le baseball lui-même affecte la valeur.
Voici 5 choses à rechercher.
#1 TYPE DE BALLE
Chaque balle de baseball dédicacée par n'importe quel joueur actuel doit figurer sur un titre officiel de la Ligue majeure de baseball. À l’exception des balles de baseball avec logo All Star et World Series, le baseball officiel de la MLB est ce que tout le monde veut.
Obtenir un autographe sur un ballon de la Ligue officielle ou sur une balle de baseball chinoise en plastique ne vaut pratiquement rien.
Lorsque cela est possible, optez toujours pour le ballon officiel de la MLB.
#2 COULEUR DU STYLO
Faites toujours dédicacer une balle de baseball avec un stylo à bille bleu. Le bleu dure plus longtemps et est une couleur beaucoup plus audacieuse.
Le noir a tendance à s'estomper très rapidement.
Même chose avec un Sharpie. Ne faites jamais dédicacer une balle de baseball avec un Sharpie.
#3 TÂCHES OU DÉFACIRATION DE LA SIGNATURE
Personne ne veut voir une tache ou une signature fanée. Tout le monde veut une signature nette et audacieuse. Plus la signature est bonne, plus elle est désirable. Les sociétés d'authentification ont même commencé à évaluer la signature elle-même ainsi que l'autographe.
#4 ÉTAT DU BASEBALL
À l'exception des anciennes balles de baseball dédicacées telles que Babe Ruth, Ted Williams et Mickey Mantle, tous les autographes des joueurs actuels doivent être sur une balle de baseball propre et blanche. Ou une perle, comme on l'appelle.
Les taches ou les taches sur la balle ont tendance à faire baisser sa valeur.
En ce qui concerne une signature de Babe Ruth, oui, ces balles de baseball auront toutes des taches et des taches en raison de l'âge de la balle.
#5 AUTHENTIFICATION
Faire authentifier votre balle de baseball dédicacée par JSA, PSA DNA ou Beckett Authentication ajoute toujours à la valeur de votre balle de baseball.
Si vous deviez le vendre, un acheteur voudrait voir cette authentification avec votre article.
Par exemple, une balle de baseball dédicacée par Babe Ruth se vend BEAUCOUP plus authentifiée par l'une de ces sociétés.
CONSEIL BONUS !
Une autre chose qui peut ajouter de la valeur à votre baseball dédicacé sont les inscriptions telles que lorsqu'un joueur ajoute son année MVP ou lorsqu'il a remporté le MVP des World Series.
Les personnalisations comme TO JOHN dévalorisent toujours le baseball dédicacé.
La raison en est qu'il est difficile de vendre une balle avec TO JOHN à quelqu'un nommé Matt !

I have the 2nd grandslam ball that Fernando tatis hit 4/23/1999. It was supposed to go to the hall of fame but went to a personal collection. I ended up with it a few years ago and now I’m interested in the value of the ball. Wondering what it would go for? Any ideas?

I have a cushioned official league cork center ball, 7000 prep league horsehide cover official weight & size from Davis Sporting Goods located in Tulsa, OK. Signed by Clete Boyer & Ken Boyer at Oertles Dept Store in Tulsa, OK while playing for the St Louis Cardinals. Signed by Warren Spahn at Spahner’s Dept Store in Tulsa, OK while playing for Milwaukee Braves. All signed in blue ink. Signed by Bud Bloomfield while playing for the Tulsa Oilers which was minor league for St Louis Cardinals. The players rented a house catty corner to my grandmother’s house so I got to interact with the different players as a young boy. Does this ball have any value other than great memories for me?
I also have an Official Gillette League – World Series Special still in cases in its original plastic. This is signed by a few names mentioned are: Smokey Burgess-catcher, Dick Radatz-first base, Albie Pearson-outfield to name a few. Does this have any value?

What if it the ball signed by a future hall of famer (sure 1st ballot) is the home run he hit. And he signed it notating the actual number of the home run hit and then his autograph.

To Jon. Very nice collection you got going. I miss the old days! Collecting is great and never needs to be departed with. With the exception of death of course.
To Tim on the 600th hundred ball. One word. “Provenance”. Proving the ball is authentic by any of the 4 companies will require you to show how the ball went from the bat to you. Very often historic quests get taped. So, if you can get the identity of the fan who gets the ball and how it made it to the next person and then to you through photographs, videos, receipts, etc. will help you to prove your case.
To Jackie. Yes, a Lefty O’Doul signed ball is valuable. In the last 3 months on eBay, one sold for $1,000. And that is not the best you can do. Some auction houses will get you much better prices if the condition of your ball is very good, but they also charge you for the service.
To Vinne. ANYTHING Yankees is worth something. In your case, your “something” is a good amount of money. If the ball is 65 yrs. old, then we’re talking about the 1957 Yankees. A great team with Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and many more. They lost to the Atlanta Braves that year but won the World Series the year before and again the year after this ball was signed. So, most of the players on the ball have value, and collectively the value goes up as well.

When I was a kid I would write to players. Ended up with about 50 autographs and some touching letters of response from some widows. I’ll never sell them and I don’t care what their monetary valley is. Dixie Howell’s widow, for example, wrote me back a few times. Dave Dravecky, Brett Butler, Vern Law, Cal Hogue, Paul La Palme, MIke Bielecki, Robin Yount, Claude Osteen, Greg Maddux (when he was with the Cubs), etc…

I found it interesting when you said that a blue pen lasts longer and much bolder in color since black tends to fade very quickly. This is something that I will consider once I shop for baseball with vintage autographs. Maybe, it would be best for me to consider the quality of the pen used. I would imagine how buying vintage autographs would help me a lot in my plan to collect vintage items. Thanks! https://wrightcollectibles.com/autographs
