Don Larsen cellophane sealed ball
Posted By: <b>swartz1</b><p>Hello - I was directed to this site from another board(member)...will check this place out...While I am looking around, I would like to know if anyone can give me information about this ball...In question, the ball on the right - still sealed...<br /><br />I have questioned Don himself and the Yankee Fan Website as well as Yankee Archives with no solid leads...<br /><br /><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii61/swartz1/larsenball.jpg">

Don Larsen cellophane sealed ball
Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>hi, welcome to the board...this is not my area of expertise, but if i had to guess, i would say the ball on the left (real signature) is worth a lot more then the faxsimile example on the right. the one on the right was either a store model, or given away at the stadium as a promotion...again, i'd imagine the one with his real sig is the more valuable one.<br><br>regards,<br>MS

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>I beg to differ. Larsen has signed tens of thousands of balls (if not more) over the years, is an overly-frequent guest at card shows, and is an easy signature to obtain through the mail. I can't comment on the value of the facsimile ball, but Mr. Larsen's autograph suffers from "Bob Feller Syndrome", thus its value is not overly great.<br><br>Jodi

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>good point...but i realize that Larsen's sig is easy to get (i met him too), so i know it's not worth all that much, BUT, i was still thinking that his real sig would be worth more than a facsimile example...

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>I was thinking more of the memorabilia value of an item likely issued in 1956 or '57 to commemorate the event. I would actually have Larsen sign the vintage piece.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Can you set me up with a link to that item...I cant seem to find it...<br><br>and to answer the other question ...<br><br>the ball on the left is one that I unwrapped and had Don sign...so it is a similar type ball...When he signed it...He was curious as to where it came from...That is why I am trying to find out, in addition to my own curiosity...thanks so far...

Posted By: <b>sporteq</b><p>.... ball is more rare and harder to come by. I sold a similar<br><br>ball in 2002 on ebay for almost $300. I do believe the ball was<br><br>produced in the early to mid 60`s.<br><br><br><br><br><br>Best of luck!!<br><br>aL
