Posted By: <b>Neal</b><p>Hi All,<br /><br />I have an opportunity to pick up a small collection of vintage baseballs some still with original boxes. I was told one is a 1920’s Reach Official League Baseball. Anyone know value on a ball like this in very nice condition and if it had a box with it?<br /><br />Thanks

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Depending on condition - unused ball (no sigs/no gameplay), still creamy white to off white, with bold stampings - I would say $400-$500. That's for the Reach Official League Ball with the Brown Box. It's a cool baseball, but it is not uncommon. If it were an official American League ball in the box with the same condition it would be valued around $800-$1000 for a 1920's model.<br /><br />If you pick the collection up post some photos here - I love old baseballs.<br /><br />edited spelling.
