A Jackie Robinson single signed baseball has value and an Ozzie Smith single signed baseball has value, but if you have Ozzie Smith sign a Jackie Robinson single signed baseball the value will go down. This is in part because single signed baseballs are a staple of the baseball autograph hobby, and a Jackie Robinson single signed ball is considered a prize. Adding a second signature, even if it is Ozzie Smith, George Brett or Brett Favre, isn't making it better in the eyes of many collectors. These collectors would say if you want George Brett's autograph, that's great, but have him sign a different baseball.

But The Babe, Aaron & Bonds are the top 3 Home Run hitters of all time and the only ones to reach the 700 club, so I think that ball would be cool to own. So tell Boomer to send it my way

Another way to state the Ozzie + Jackie equation is: Chop suey and ice cream each tastes good, but that doesn't mean chop suey ala mode tastes better.

Although it's easy to understand why collectors/fans had Aaron and Maris sign Ruth balls, there is nothing more displeasing to my eye than ballpoint/felt tip on the same item as something signed in fountain pen. It's akin to partially restoring a '57 Chevy using seats from a 1982 Crown Vic. Thankfully, there are plenty of people who disagree, and a ball like that has tremendous appeal to them. It makes sense to some, but none to others.

Boomer should brand the ball with an asterisk (with a fountain pen of course
) next to Bonds signature.

would be a Barry Bonds ball that was later signed by Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth! That implies some rather fantastic supernatural occurrences that I would surely pay for!
Although, I am an Ozzie smith collector, so to stay on topic may be more appropriate. I would definitely pay at least $250 for an Ozzie ball that was subsequently signed by Jackie Robinson. As long as the PSA/DNA sticker is properly affixed and it's sold by CC.
