1959 Cardinals autographed ball - facsimile or clubhouse sigs? Value?
I've had this ball since I was a kid. I think I got it at Sportsman Park around 1961. It has autographs from the 1959 St. Louis Cardinals team. Question: 1) Are these real, facsimile, or clubhouse signatures? 2) Does this ball have any value? Thanks for your comments and input. David

It's a preprinted souvenir ball that was sold at ballparks.
Not sure of the value.

Thanks for your comments and insight. Although it is a neat collectible (IMO) from 60 or so years ago, it apparently has very little value. Maybe $50 at the most?? Don't know how they stamped the signatures on a round ball, though.

Printed on while it was flat, then made into a ball.
Has anyone ever done a list of souvenir balls? It might make an interesting and affordable collection. |

I hear many asking the question if a particular ball is signed or just a facsimile. For what it's worth, I can't recall seeing a real signed ball where the signatures DIDN'T run into each other, or a facsimile ball where they DID touch each other.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and opinions. I was fairly certain it was a facsimile ball, but I wanted to be sure. I learned at least two things:
1. Facsimile balls are printed while the cover is flat. I never thought about it, but it makes sense. 2. You will likely never see a facsimile ball where the signatures run together or a legitimate ball where they don't. |
