Unable to Attach Photos
Thank you for the replies, everyone. I took your advice and have now taken a few photos of the ball. Unfortunately, this forum has a file size limit that is exceedingly small (78.1KB for a jpg file), and all of my photos greatly exceed this limit. Even when I attempt to save the files at the "lowest quality" setting, the file size is still too large. I'm sorry that I am not computer savvy enough to know how to make this work. Any suggestions?
FYI, someone wrote on the ball the year 1949, which I presume my great-grandfather wrote to record the year he collected the signatures, perhaps at a single event. The ball is stamped "Official League; Yarn Wrapped" on the center spot. I have no idea if this is meaningful to the ball's valuation. Last edited by rottnsox; 03-12-2014 at 08:39 PM.

If you want to forward the photo files to me, I'll resize and post them for you. I'm sure others would be willing to do the same.

Baseball Signatures Deciphered -- Partially
Thanks to thecatspajamas for offering to help me post the photos -- I have sent them to him in hopes of success. In the mean time, I did decipher a few of the other signatures (in addition to Wagner, Kiner, and Greenberg):
Rip Sewell Fritz Ostermueller Eddie Basinski Bill Salkeld Wally Westlake Clyde Kluttz (love that name!) Billy Herman Nick Strincevich Jim Russell Elbie Fletcher John Lanning Roy Jarvis Chet Smith (sports writer/editor in Pittsburgh) There are a few more I have yet to figure out. Most of these played for the Pirates in the mid- to late-1940s. That makes sense given the "1949" date hand-written on the ball. Thanks again.

Thank you greatly! Now, any thoughts from the crowd on the potential value (or lack thereof :-)) for this ball? I'd also welcome help interpreting the signatures that I have yet to decipher (see my list so far in a previous reply on this thread). Thanks in advance.
