Default 1963 Yankee ball

A friend of mine goes to an estate auction in South Bend, IN this past weekend and calls me all excited because he found a Roger Maris autographed ball and wants to bid on it later in the day. I know what you are thinking as I was also. He is not a baseball guy and called me for my expertise. He says it is a team ball and saw Mantle and Ed Ford also on the ball. He said he can read the signatures just fine and they are not faded. Not really knowing what to say sight unseen, I tell him to pay no more than $200, figuring that is safe. He gets it for $110. He just ran it over for me to look at, and it is STAMPED! Turns out it is a 1963 Yankee stamped ball. He is correct that it is in nice shape. What value would you place on this item?
Thanks for the help!
