He said he can read the signatures just fine and they are not faded. Not really knowing what to say sight unseen, i tell him to pay no more than $200, figuring that is safe. He gets it for $110. He just ran it over for me to look at, and it is stamped! Turns out it is a 1963 yankee stamped ball. He is correct that it is in nice shape. What value would you place on this item?
Thanks for the help!
+/- $50
