value of Minnie Rojas single signed baseball
 

When I was a kid I had a baseball autographed by Angels pitcher Minnie Rojas.The autograph is very clear on a Little League baseball. I understand his signature is very tough because of a terrible car crash he was in . Does anyone have a rough idea of the balls value?
Thanks, Rich

Rich,

Being an autograph dealer/collector who specializes in this sort of thing, when you ask what a particular tough item like this is "worth," it's asking a lot. Just like anything, from sports stuff to art to antiques to collectibles, what an item is "worth" is basically what omeone is willing to pay for it.

This rojas baseball is a niche item that has collectors of single signed baseballs of players from a particular team to collectors of Latin players to those who specialize in "tragic" players (and there are quite a few of those collectors).

At auction, I can see this baseball fetch several hundred dollars, around $200-400, depending on the placement and condition of the sig.
