A few balls and a pennant

[btcarfagno]

The Rizzuto and Larsen balls are going to carry a premium because they were personalized to another famous person (Jake Lamotta). They would have interest to both baseball and boxing collectors as such, I would think. How much of a premium I have no idea. Wouldn't surprise me if they were to retail for like $100-150 each.

Loen,

Not a Ted expert, but that looks more like Ted Girlliams.

I believe it looks that way because it is a through the mail secretarial signature. It's always difficult to evaluate an item that is not signed on paper, but it doesn't look good to me

Those balls all appear to have been signed to Jake LaMotta so a bad Williams would be surprising, but that would be my opinion. Maybe they didn't come from the same place though.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I don't think the pennant and the balls came from the same original source. If I recall the gentleman might have told me the Williams isn't good but the pennant itself has some decent value and might be circa 1950s ...maybe $100+ ...... If anyone knows more about the pennant itself it would be great. Thanks again!!

The pennant is original, but lacks any color or special graphics. Without the signature, I would say $75-100 as its in pretty good shape. With the signature, probably $50, but I assume most will think the auto is real.
