Thanks CEE GEE!! I knew a connoisseur like you would appreciate it! :-)
Hi, I just joined after inheriting a baseball I found in the bottom of a box. It appears to be a very old ball which has no marking of the make of it and the inscription reads:
Mickey Mantle
To my best friend
This is the part I could not read. It looks like a name that starts with a B and the last name is just an initial that looks like a B.
I will try to attach some photos. You will see smudges of ink in a few different spots on the ball as if it was from the pen that wrote it.
If anyone can guess if it is authentic and possibly it's value so I can decide to keep or sell. Also, where would I get it appraised?
Thanks, Kenny
I think this is a fake Mantle signature.
Just a guess, but it has the appearance of a kid fooling around and signing a ball from Mickey Mantle. My bet is that it was not a serious forgery attempt.
This just in... my new pride & joy...
Mariano Rivera 2001 Game Used ball
By the way, the code on the MLB Game Used hologram allows you to see the game the ball was used:
Thats Awesome!!
Here's a nice one that I recently picked up. Roberto Clemente died on December 31, 1972, and his card was in the 3rd series of Topps baseball cards that year, so there was a severely limited time window for him to sign it. I would rate the sig a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. It's one of the key autographed cards for the 72 set. One just sold at Heritage in Dallas in November for close to $3,000.
Here's mine. Notice the bottom of the back, it looks like someone sold this card for $11.00 at one time (or at least had it priced at $11.00, no doubt the buyer probably asked for a discount. LOL
