"I was a Yankee batboy in Fla. and they signed this ball for me in 1961"

[RichardSimon]

This is too funny, two days in a row getting pictures of facsimile baseballs and the sellers swear that they got the ball signed.
This one said he was the batboy in spring training in 1961, of course 1961.
I explained to him, you may have gotten a ball signed but not this one. He writes me back "You are wrong but thats ok."
The ball even had the same sweet spot sigs as the ball from yesterday but obviously this one is in much worse condition.

Nice!!! She's a beauty!

[RichardSimon]

Scott, you do know the dictionary definition of beauty, don't you?

What are facsimile balls worth?

[RichardSimon]

There are few people who collect them. But they can go for $100+ in some instance, I think.

[39special]

Thanks Richard.I wasn't sure how desirable they were.

Even if this was a real signed ball, which it isn't, Bobby Shantz wasn't on the team by spring training of 61. Best it could be is 60...hmmmmm

I got an e-mail the other day from a guy trying to sell a Foxx single signed baseball. He says he played a little college ball in Miami under the Beast himself. He sent a scan of his baseball but I'm a little on the fence.
