What is the value of a baseball signed by Pee Wee Reese and Duke Snider and Gil Hodges?

Answer

Baseballs featuring the genuine vintage autographs of these Brooklyn Dodgers are always in demand. Unfortunately, they are also very often forged. Gil Hodges also often preferred to use a signature stamp when "signing" balls. Presuming authenticity, other key factors are: the placement and clarity of each signature, the type of ball (is it an "Official National League" ball), and the all-important overall condition of the ball and signatures. Essentially, the bigger and bolder, the better.

The provenance; the who, what, when and where of a signed ball's history, may also add value if documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $250 to as much as $600, depending on the aforementioned factors. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.
