Mark SteinbergI'll give this one a shot...
I think most major auction houses would grade this autograph about a "4 - 5". It is a bit hard to tell whether the light areas are scuffs or glare from the camera. I am assuming they are scuffs.
I think this ball would currently realize $4,000 - $4,800 at auction. The Enterprise Studios inscription/date is neat, and may add value for selected collectors. But conversely, a majority of people would simply prefer a clean ball, featuring only the Babe's signature.
I believe this is accurate, and hope it helps!
