21 Signed 3000 Hit Club Baseball

[btcarfagno]

3,000 hit baseballs with most of those that you mention are not especially uncommon, even with Gwynn and Musial. Having Jeter onm the ball takes it to another level though, although I am sure you had to pay through the nose to get him on the ball. If you get Ichiro now, there is always the slight risk that his leg falls off or something and he never quite reaches 3,000...which would hurt the value of the ball. But assuming he makes it and you get him on the ball, that would cretainly be quite a ball!!

However, because I'm sure you had to pay through the nose to get Jeter on it, I am not sure if you will recoup the money you put into it. As long as these guys keep signing (and Gwynn and Musial signed a bunch of items with these guys before they passed away), I just don't see a big profit there. It is far more desireable with Jeter on it no doubt, but the price you likely had to pay to get him on it might negate any profit you might hope to make.

Would love to see the ball.

It is worth about $1,000-$1,500

I think that's a pretty high estimate. I'd guess closer to $500 or $600

To me this is a baseball that YOU want to have in your collection because you desire to have it NOT for value or resale . The single signed baseballs of these players in a 3000 hit display will always be worth more than a single ball signed by all these players.
That being said IMO the ball is worth 500-800 dollars . Ichiro would add maybe 100 dollars more in value provided there is still room on the ball for him to sign it.

Yes the Derek Jeter signature cost me 600$ alone to get through Steiner on the sendins. Will send some pictures once i get them. Each individual name to get signed not including Jeter @ 1500$ is 75$ but will hold onto ball, as looks like Ichiro should be able to make 3000 hits this year as long as nothing tragic happens.

Also got the same guys with there hit total inscriptions on the ball minus Alex as he's still playing. Jeter with his hit total ball was outrageous, over 1000$ but had to have it. My 500 home run collection of balls i got all the home run total baseballs with inscriptions on all the current hitters that are retired, except Bonds and Sosa. Anyone that knows or has one wanting to sell let me know, and for PG balls of present only missing Kenny Rogers with his PG date, been looking for years.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
