1939 Dodgers, 1963 Reds Team Signed Baseball
 

Anybody know much in regards to value or have a desire to give them a good home? I am inclined to keep the Reds ball being a Reds fan. However when it comes to color green is my favorite :) Below are the pictures let me know guys. I greatly appreciate everyones knowledge on here.

Thanks

As you can see more autographs are on there just were hard to make out. 1963 is also faintly written on the side panel.

Be careful of clubhouse signatures on Dodger balls. I am not an expert at all so will wait for others to chime in. Assuming no clubhouse sigs, taking into account some lightness to some of them and only a few bigger name or tough signatures I would say auction house sale price on it would be around $200 or so.

The Reds ball is in terrible shape but is made interesting by the rookie era Rose, even if it is light. Best guess in this condition would be $50-75 or so.

Not sure if that helped much.

Thanks for your input, I would agree that the Dodgers ball is probably somewhere near there. I had hopes that the Reds ball on the other hand was a little more valuable.

Not in that condition unfortunately. A fairly clean ONL ball with clear (maybe 8 out of 10 strength) signatures would be around $400 or so with Rose on it. That would be with 20+ signatures that are 8 in clarity. Your ball has just 5 or 6 legible signatures and serious flaking of the ball. It is a good thing that Rose is one of the ones that can be made out, if with some effort. To me the condition downgrades the ball very significantly.

I appreciate your insight. I had these sold however the guy backed out. Oh well
