Signed Ruth Ball question
Posted By: Jamie
I have a Ruth Ball I am looking to sell. A guy I know told me he tought it would be worth around 7K, I was offered 6K for it. Just wondering if anyone could help me place a value on this ball... and if 6K is a good price to sell it...I am the third owner and I have full history dating this ball back to the exact day it was signed... any help is greatly appreciated: |

$6k is a very good price for a Ruth ball with that weak a signature. |

the buyer just changed his offer to $5,000 claiming that he doesnt have enough cash for 6K.. is that more what its worth.. I was under the impression that I could get alot of buyers at 5K. am I off on this? |

It's not a great ball, Jamie. It's been up on eBay for almost four days, and you've gotten only that one offer--which was retracted. |

I understand that there are many cleaner bolder Babe ruth signed balls out there.. but they also go between 10-40K. This is still a single signed babe ruth ball on the sweet spot, dated on the day he signed it. That alone I thought would put this ball at the 5K range. so selling it at that price I would consider fair but not outstanding for the seller. |

Dated, yes. But not by Ruth. |

Yes, take the money and run. The market on Ruth is soft, aside from really mesmerizing, unique items. The $5K offer is great. Out of principle, if the prospective buyer balks and offers you yet another lower figure, hold your ground. There are too many people who like to play games, and to see how much of a beating you're willing to take. Just kindly let him know you already accepted his $5K offer. |
