Posted By: <b>Alan</b><p>I have two autographed baseballs, they do not have letter of auth. because one was autographed in 1961 by Mantle, Berra, Ford and Maris, when they were in the Allstar game together, atleast that is my understanding. The other is all off the 1953 Indians both in good shape and both on Reach Baseballs, I belive, any idea of value, or how to get them valued

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>in hobby terms, pre-war refers to to pre-ww2. This always been recognized as the dividing point between vintage and modern cards. Although newcomers might assume ww1 since much of the talk here focuses on cards issued before then.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Tom L.</b><p>Nice little war to separate the centuries. Though maybe the Russo-Japanese war would be better, that way the E107s would end up with the 19th century material (where they probably belong as far as scarcity).

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>....I've never heard ANYBODY in the hobby mention the Spanish-American War before! I was thinking to myself what a convenient breaking-off point it was...if a war can be said to be convenient.
