I agree with Tom but I do have a caveat (an caveat??? stupid English...). This is an important year obviously. The fact that it has both Mantle and Maris on it from that year is key and makes it worth more than a similar ball from a different year. Mantle didn't always sign even all star game balls himself. Interested buyers likely know this, and even a letter by the owner stating that he saw Mantle sign it may not be good enough.

Sad though it may be, I could see this ball carrying enough of a premium with an alphabet soup LOA that it may be worth it. May cost around $250 though.

I thought I died and went to cooperstown when these hall of famers? started calling me. I going to have to mortgage the house to sell this stuff.
don't get me wrong this has been pretty cool but I am either meeting someone or on the computer trying to figure out who they are.

Consign the material to a reputable auction house. The eyes you want to see the items will see them and the house can handle all the authentications for you.
