A co worker of mine has been telling me about a Yankee's team signed ball hes had in his family since 1946 and he finally brought it in to work today and I'm here at work holding it.....hes wondering what its worth The story is (according to him), his aunt worked in Panama in 1946 and a co worker of her's was a girlfriend of one of the Yankees who held spring training there at the time. Its a Ken-Wel official Major League, has red and blue stitching, Joe DiMaggio and Joe McCarthy on the sweet spot, and is super clean (its been wrapped in some sort of brittle celephane) condition (also has the box). Other names I can make out are Frank Hiller, Tommy Byrne, Harry Craft, Ken Sylvestri, Hank Majesky, Bill Bevens, Steve Roser, Rick Rolfe, Gus Niachas, Tom Henrich, Charlie Keller, Joe Page. It has 29 signatures total and it looks like all signatures are in the same pen. Note: I also have this posted on the memorabilia forum.

Bearing that none of the signatures are clubhouse, you're probably looking at a grand or there abouts for it. Especially since the DiMaggio and McCarthy signatures are on the sweet spot together, not to mention how clean the ball is.

Hey Keith,
That is a really neat ball. In the future could you do us a favor and put memorabilia stuff on the memorabilia side of the forum? It's the icon at the top that says (Net54 Memorabilia). I would very much appreciate it....regards

edited to say that I see you put it over there...thanks...I will lock this thread and the other memorabilia one too....just trying to keep organized...nothing personal..
