I agree, the condition is super considering its age- nice!

The 54 Red Sox ball from Heritage Auction that ended mid Nov this year is not even close to as nice as your.

Wow... Condition is as good as it gets! I love the uniformity and boldness of the ink.... not to mention the care that each player took in signing it. Has to be the best '54 Red Sox Ball extant!

Conditionis great but I think the key to that ball is not the Ted Williams auto which is very nice but the Harry Agganes (spelling) auto. He passed away very early in his career (I think he only had 1 season under his belt) and is a very desirable autograph!

Very nice baseball and thanks for letting us see it

nice ball, I also see Don Lenhardt who unfortunately passed away earlier this month

Thanks for the responses so far. Is it worth having the ball graded by a service like DNA?

I would definitely recommend getting it authenticated by PSA/DNA or JSA. With many Red Sox team balls from the '50s, the Ted Williams autographs were signed by ballboys, clubhouse attendants, etc.

My guess is the Williams on yours is good, but I'm not an expert on the subject. The Agganis on the reverse sweet spot (is that the term?) is great, and nice and bold!

I'd guess a $400-500 price tag on this if all sigs check out OK, but I could be way off. Good luck with it and let me know if you plan on selling it!
