Need value for mid 1950's signed baseball.

[r2678]

Local dealer asked me to help him value a ball owned by one of his customers. It appears the ball has been signed by Dodgers and Yankees but other than that, I don't see a theme. I said because of the Campanella it was probably worth a few hundred dollars but his customer seems to think it's worth more. It hasn't been offered to him, more of a show-and-tell right now. These are the best photos I have. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.<p>http://jacockscollectibles.com/ebay/1.jpg<br>http://jacockscollectibles.com/ebay/2.jpg<br>http://jacockscollectibles.com/ebay/3.jpg<br>http://jacockscollectibles.com/ebay/4.jpg<br>http://jacockscollectibles.com/ebay/5.jpg<br>

There are numerous Cardinals (Schoendienst, Staley, Jablonski, Tom Alston) on this, too. I'd guess 1954 based on those but probably added signers over some period. Interesting mixture.

I'm sure others can give a more precise value but I'd guess somewhere in the $350-400 range.

I would say a bit lower. Retail maybe $350-400. Auction format through a house maybe $250-300. Campy is nice, it is displayable with the Stengal which is a plus, and the signatures are nice and bold. But there isn't a bunch of other star power in terms of autograph value. If the Campy was buried on a side panel I would say even less. But as is $250-300.

I would like to thank you both. The dealer said he was gong to try to purchase the ball for a Christmas present for his father who's a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.
