DOes an old american league ball worth anything?

Yes, the autograph on it is horrendous. The ticket though is a HR stub, about number 490 something that Ruth hit, I believe.

Snapped these two photos last Sunday at the Alameda Point show...I'm not a ball guy but a friend told me it was overpriced..but I don't know looked pretty rare and nice to me....probably the lamest Alameda I ever went to...flat as a pancake...nada nothing....This ball was about as interesting as it got...

I am far from an expert, but it doesn't seem overpriced to me. What pops out to me is the spelling of Spalding as Spaulding. That seems to happen a lot. Mike

According to the price guide, it is worth $700.

If you were to go by that guide that price is for the ball only. Mike

That 1917 ball and box looks darned nice. I don't collect equipment but as with cards and memorabilia and autographs, personally, I can see paying extra for something like that.

What its worth is in the eye of the collector. $700...well worth it, and almost a steal IMO...if its a 1917 and not a later Heydler style minor league ball...only one guy can really tell you that one...Brando?
