Who was better mickey mantle or Willie Mays?
The Say Hey kid gets the nodAs a die hard Mickey Mantle fan it would be eay for me to say "what could have been if he was healthy" but the fact is Willie Mays put up better numbers than the Mick. I have to go with Willie Mays but as a Mantle fan I leave you with some quotes from some noted ballplayers, and Mickey himself.."If that guy were healthy, he'd hit eighty home runs." - Carl Yastrzemski"On two legs, Mickey Mantle would have been the greatest ballplayer who ever lived." - Nellie Fox"Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been." -Mickey Mantle

What is the value of a baseball autographed by Mickey Mantle Early Wynn Lefty Gomez Bob Feller Billy Herman and Ernie Banks?
In some cases a single signed baseball of a noted player is worth more than a multi signed baseball with the same player of note. In this case the Mickey Mantle signature would be the most valuable, and the key signature with the other Hall of Fame players on this baseball. I would categorize this baseball as a "Mickey Mantle Multi signed Hall of Fame baseball" And this would be part of the explanation of why a Mickey Mantle single signed baseball would be more valuable than a Multi signed HOF baseball. Value is based on the price collectors pay for an Item. There are more collectors of Mickey Mantle memorabilia, and his signature is more sought after than the other HOF'ers on this baseball. You have to treat this as two separate items. A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball, and a Multi signed baseball. There are less collectors of Hall of Fame multi signed signatures, than collectors of a Mickey Mantle signature. Therefor a Mickey Mantle Signed baseball will sell at a higher price. A collector of a Mickey Mantle signed baseball might prefer the signature by itself, may not desire the other signatures, and will not pay extra for the others or just pay less for the less desired baseball. This is why you cannot add up the value of each signature to come up with a value. A single signed Mickey Mantle Baseball is worth about $400..-$800. I checked an auction house for Mickey Mantle Multi signed baseballs and found 5 baseballs that sold between $131. - $896 averaging around $350. Of cause the signatures that appear on each baseball are different, and will effect the value, as well as the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures, and condition. Which signature that appears on the "sweet spot" will also effect the value. The baseball that sold for $896. was in great condition, strong signatures, PSA/DNA authenticated, and had the following signatures: Mantle, Herman, Spahn, Koufax, Sewell, Musial, Killebrew, Palmer, Berra, Banks, Marichal, Mays, Lemon, Aparicio, Ford, Aaron and Frank Robinson. With three signatures in common with your baseball with some similar signatures, but more. Two Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider Multi-Signed Baseballs. (NY center Fielders) very desired Willie Mickey and the Duke baseball sold for $334. and $448. This baseball with only three signature might be more desired than the baseball you have. A Mickey Mantle, Wally Post, Ted Kluszewski, and Gus Bell, very sloppy condition sold for sold for $167 Your baseball should do much better that this, and based on the information from these auction I would say that your baseball if properly authenticated in excellent+ condition should be worth at least $350.-$500. signatures that are not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. If the signatures are not authenticated, and if you do not no the origin of the baseball, be sure that the signatures are hand signed, and not facsimile (stamped) signatures. For more info on facsimile signatures, and autographed baseballs read my newsletter "How Much is my autographed baseball" I will leave a couple of links below.

Must be Babe Ruth as Joseph Williams was apparently not much of a baseball player as there is no record of him in baseball.
