Value of Autograph

[joet]

Which autograph is more valuable? the one on regular OML baseball, or the one on game used baseball?? Well, it's Chien-Ming Wang's autograph, but actually ......Wang "lost" the game.


Any idea about the value of the game used baseball? Thank you.

Game used if it can't be shown to be game used.

Re: Value of Autograph

I have collected team signed and single signed baseballs since the 80's. I like them on a mint snow white BB. Being on a GU ball would not be of interest to me unless it was a HR ball and could be substantiated. That itself is tuff...

Re: Value of Autograph

Selling autographs on a daily basis, I have found it to be completely up to the buyer in this situation. Some prefer clean, white official MLB balls while others like the fact that the ball was used in a Major League game. Most of the signed GU Yankees balls will come with the Yankees-Steiner LOA and/or MLB hologram which substantiates the game use. There is an added value in the game used ball as they are marketable on their own, but then again, it all comes down to the taste of the individual buyer.

Re: Value of Autograph

I have both signed new baseballs and signed game used baseballs, and after getting many, I now prefer that the baseball's I have are signed on NEW OML baseballs; they have a better look to it.
