3,000 hit baseballs with most of those that you mention are not especially uncommon, even with Gwynn and Musial. Having Jeter onm the ball takes it to another level though, although I am sure you had to pay through the nose to get him on the ball. If you get Ichiro now, there is always the slight risk that his leg falls off or something and he never quite reaches 3,000...which would hurt the value of the ball. But assuming he makes it and you get him on the ball, that would cretainly be quite a ball!!
However, because I'm sure you had to pay through the nose to get Jeter on it, I am not sure if you will recoup the money you put into it. As long as these guys keep signing (and Gwynn and Musial signed a bunch of items with these guys before they passed away), I just don't see a big profit there. It is far more desireable with Jeter on it no doubt, but the price you likely had to pay to get him on it might negate any profit you might hope to make.
Would love to see the ball.
