Hey Guys,

I need a little help/advise here.  I am clueless as far as baseball goes and memorabilia, I need your help.  I have obtain a baseball signed by the entire 1970 Cincinatti Reds team.  It has signatrues from Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tony Perez, etc...  The baseball is not in tip top shape.  I am not sure if it was ever in a case, the signatures are visible but show some fade. 

Few questions that I have

1) How much could this baseball cost?

2) Should I put it up on ebay?

3) Can and where may I get it authenicated? do I even need to?

 

 

I can send pictures to those whoa re interested in looking at it. 

 

 

Thanks in advance for anyones help.

No authentication hurts the value.

Link to ebay article on authentication services.

While at Ebay price out similar items and guesstimate the value of yours based on its condition.

Sorry no concrete answers for you, it takes some work to sell memorabilia. From a quick glance though it would be unique right now. None currently or recently listed. That's a good thing.

Best of luck to you.

Big Red,

Thanks very much for the info.  Talked to few folks at work here and they thought it should be worth big bucks.  It is similar to a 1956 Yankees Ball that is on sale on ebay, they won the americna league that year, Reds the National in 70 and lost the world series.  So not sure if it's the same value at 6K, but with Bench, Perez and Rose, should be close.

 

Thanks a bunch I will get it authenicated.  Thanks for the link again.

without authentication its probably worth very little, no one is in their right mind is going to spend big bucks on a ball you could have scribbled on (altho it has been known to happen).
If you can get the authenticity Id imagine it could go for about $500 certainly no where near the Yankees ball price.
You have to keep in mind Yankee memorabilia is going to be worth a lot more due to pure demand, also a few of the big time players from that team are now dead which also increases the value.
You can always put a reserve on the item once you have it listed and if it doesnt meet that you still have your ball. good luck !

Dodgepicker, I'd imagine it is worth more than $500 with two hall of famers and another added in the future.  Though I agree with you it is not the Yankees, but it possibly might be more rare.  They won the National League that year, and it all depends on who wants it.  It might not be worth much to a Yankee fan, but will be worth something more to a Reds fan.  Honestly I have no clue, I'm going to get it authenticated $250, and then put it up on ebay and we'll see.

Not worth much.  Just use it for your next baseball game.

1988 St. Louis Cardinals Team Autographed Baseball is selling for 5K on ebay.  So can't say 70s Reds is too far off or ahead.
