Trying to help my brother in law but this is not even close to my area of expertise so would like to read your input on this.

Your brother in law should spend some time on line and get a realistic idea as the range of possible valuation. For most items you can find comparable signed balls on line pretty easily. In my experience people who are not in the hobby tend to have wildly inflated views as to what some pieces are worth. My brother in law still insists that the circa 1970s autographed Mickey Mantle 8x10 glossy my father in law has in the living room (which likely isn't even real) is worth many thousands of dollars.
