Very nice item.

Auction is the only way to find out the value. Mays was only 17 years old in 1948 so this would be likely one of the earliest signatures on a baseball for him.

Could go really high if two collectors with deep pockets have to have it.

Unfortunately, if only one with deep pockets has to have it, it could go for less than the referenced 1950 one from 2012.

Agree Auction is best way to determine value. But this is a much better ball than the 1950. First this is a Negro League team ball and they are scarce and have a deep collector base. Versus a minor leauge ball for the 1950 example. Second Willie Mays is the Greatest Living Baseball player not just My humble opinion. And as such many collectors have started putting away examples of Mays both cards and autographs. The market is a little soft now but items like this still sell very well. So I agree with Hank definitely a six figure ball. Good luck with sale.
