Minor league Baseballs
I didn't really have too many older or autographed baseballs in my collection. I found the Asheville Tourists ball at a flea market, I looked it over an knew it wasn't a major league baseball, if it cost any more than the $25 I paid for it, I would have likely passed on it. However, I bought it (and love it) and since have purchased 15-20 additional baseballs over the last 6-8 months. It wasn't until recently that I did the research on these balls. Of the 3 balls pictured, which do you think is most valuable?
