1938 Yankees Team Ball - Authentic?

[garyicohen]

I've had this ball since 1980 and have no knowledge of its life before then. I am looking to sell it. Do you folks believe these autographs are authentic?

Regarding the HOFers…

DiMaggio and probably McCarthy look clubhouse.

But Ruffing and the key sig, Gehrig, look good!

Agree. The Gehrig is good. McCarthy and DiMaggio are clubhouse.

I'm new to the memorabilia game and I've been told this ball could be worth anywhere from $2k - $10k based on experts assessment of the autographs. So, in terms of what am I asking, I don't know. Maybe make an offer?

[garyicohen]

Happy to hear a couple of endorsements for the Gehrig signature. I would be looking to sell it. Could anybody offer a rough estimate of its value?

If it was me and I wanted to sell it--I would go to some of the auction houses and click on past auction results and see if I could match up ones with similar clubhouse and "real" signatures for a 1938 team signed Yankees baseball and then look at the price...keep in mind that the final price will show 20% higher than what the sold price was do to the auction house taking their cut.
If you come up with a price...let me know--I might be interested...I like the Gehrig as well. Thanks.

That's a $2500 ball at the most.
