Roger Maris/George Steinbrenner baseball

Need some input on value of the ball ,had it for many years and coming up on retirement I decided on getting it checked out. Got it from around the early 80s I believe, purchased it from a lady who's late husband had something to do with a brewery that she said the Maris family was involved in . someone told me to get it checked out so after 100 dollars later JSA person told me it was a nice ball and all was great. it says Best of luck from the NY Yankees George Steinbrenner on one side and Best Wishes Roger Maris other side .card shop locally offered me 700 plus my 100 back from JSA.after looking online I think that was low but could use so expert advice on maybe a fair value thanks..

That offer might not be all that far off. Interesting ball but it's not an MLB ball and the ink is fading on both signatures. I might be inclined to take the offer if you don't have any attachment to it.

Thanks ,there's a card and collectable show this week end here , will try there and the offer from the card shop will still be there hopefully but at least I got a idea now what im looking for thanks again .

If you're willing to be patient, I definitely think you can get over $1,000. Maris is the key here and it displays nicely as a "single signed" example, but the fact it isn't on an official ball and has some bleeding to the signature definitely brings the value down. Still a great piece!

I buy autographs all the time and I wouldn’t have offered you as much as he did. The fact that it is not single signed, not an mlb ball and the autos are fading would make it a very difficult sell. The guy made you a very nice offer imo.
