Help with a few autographs (Ruth, Gehrig, Clemente)

[btcarfagno]

I have a feeling that you are going to need some sort of blacklight to be able to see if the signatures are authentic or not.

If they turn out to be ok, the value is greatly diminished by the obvious condition issues, as well as the fact that there are other signatures on the ball, and it isn't just Ruth and Gehrig together. My ballpark guess, if the Ruth and Gehrig are both good, would be somewhere in the $1,000-$1,500 range. This is because of the extreme condition issues.

I'm not going to venture a guess on the Clemente as I'm not a fan of the signature being his...but I'm not a Clemente expert either.

Is that a Mantle beneath the Gehrig? It looks clearer and could help the value of the ball if real...and if it is just signed by Ruth and Gehrig and Mantle only.

Post a better image of the Mantle and you will likely get more responses, at least regarding the Mantle anyway. As I said, the Ruth and Gehrig may be too far gone to authenticate with the naked eye.

Both Ruth and Gehrig are good, IMHO.

It has Mantle and Dimaggio. My real concern was Ruth and Gehrig

[Jimmy87]

Dimaggio. The ball with Clemente also has Mantle

Thank you for all the responses. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I know trying to authenticate them would be best but don't have money at the moment to do so.

If you put them up for auction, you may be able to get them authenticated for free depending on the auction house.
