1979 WS Baseball with a COA signed thus Mickey Charles Mantle No. 7 HOF 74 18 WS HR What is the approx. value?

Answer 1

A Mickey Mantle single signed Baseball is worth about $500.-$800. Price will vary based on condition, and type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Rare examples of a pristine signature or inscriptions like "No. 7" "HOF 74" or "18 WS HR" could raise the price to the $1,000. price range. You have all three, and that should add further value. A rarely signed full name signature "Mickey Charles Mantle" will break the $2,000 price mark as it did in a May 5th 2007 live eBay auction selling for $2,390. Your baseball with the added inscriptions could sell for more based on the condition of the signature, and baseball.

After condition the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature will dictate the price. Mickey Mantle was under contract with the Upper-Deck company before he passed away. Baseballs that have the Upper deck hologram could sell in the $1,000.-$1,500. price range. signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. In a recent auction (Aug 2008) a Mickey mantle single signed baseball sold for $537.75 (May 2008) - $657.25 A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball inscribed "HOF 1974" sold for $1,434.00
