DOes an old american league ball worth anything?

Looks like it has been slightly used...but I would pay $2-300 to keep in my own collection. Stampings look good and are, as I mentioned, what I look for...some collectors look at the laces or the ball itself...but to me its the stamping on the balls that make official league balls unique and coveted.
I think most ball collectors follow the same ideals...Stamps-Laces-Ball...not to mention dating. Just how Ive come to see the hobby.
If you can get it around that that price Id say good piece.

The price has went over the roof on this one. It is out of my range.

It's the bogus story & fake Ruth signature on it driving it up.

Yup. Too bad, that is too over priced for the vintage ball.

Yes, the autograph on it is horrendous. The ticket though is a HR stub, about number 490 something that Ruth hit, I believe.

Snapped these two photos last Sunday at the Alameda Point show...I'm not a ball guy but a friend told me it was overpriced..but I don't know looked pretty rare and nice to me....probably the lamest Alameda I ever went to...flat as a pancake...nada nothing....This ball was about as interesting as it got...

I am far from an expert, but it doesn't seem overpriced to me. What pops out to me is the spelling of Spalding as Spaulding. That seems to happen a lot. Mike
