1950 Mickey Mantle Joplin Miners Team Signed Baseball

[bat_master]

I picked up this 1950 Joplin Miners team ball along with a 1950 Joplin Miners silver gelatin team photo a couple months ago. Both came from the same owner in Tulsa, OK.

Only know of one other team signed ball examples that had sold at auction. It was through Huggins & Scott in 2007. May have been around $20k with the juice. http://oct07.hugginsandscott.com/cgi...pl?itemid=6768

Does anyone have any thoughts as to value on something like this? With only one auction sale (that I'm aware of) is that a good enough comp in terms of figuring out a list price?

Thanks in advance.

I thought Mile High sold some minor league autographs in the last year.

Good point. Thanks for mentioning these. Turns out there were a couple that I hadn't seen.

This does give me a little better idea of what I'm probably looking at for value I think.

Sweet ball Tim! I've got a similar one, 19 year old Mantle + a mix of 1950 Joplin Miners and Enid Giants. My dad got this in person when he was 13 and had gone to see Mantle specifically. I've guessed it was maybe a $10K+ ball, however doesn't really matter since I never plan to part with it.
