The most preferred Baseball to have a player sign would be an Official Major League Baseball from the League the player played in, that was used during the ball players playing days. The older baseballs could be dated by the signature of the League President stamped on the ball.

For example: Willie Mays played from 1951-1973. If you were planning to acquire a Willie Mays signature you would try to find a 1951-1969 Warren Giles Official national League Baseball. The baseball alone would cost you about $200. but it would also add value to your signature. You can also opt to go with a 1970-1986 Charles Feeny Official National League Baseball which was used at the end of Mays' career. This ball would cost you about $60. Your next choice should be an Official Major League baseball made after his playing days. This would be acceptable as well.

The same would be for team signed baseballs. A team from the 1980's, a 1980's baseball. (same League) See Related Link below for an Official Major League Baseball Dating Guide

How many signatures are required to be called a team signed baseball mean?

The minimum number of signatures to be considered to be a team signed baseball would most likely vary from collector to collector. For the most part 15, 17, 21, 25 or more. I have heard of collectors considering 12-15 signatures to be sufficient. A baseball with 9 signatures or less might put it below the borderline, and ten it would be considered a "team" multi signed baseball. If the baseball has most of the key signatures it could pass as a "team signed" with a lower value. The more signatures and key signatures, the more valuable.

1984 baseball signed by entire Detroit Tiger team With tiger logo?

A 1984 Detroit Tigers Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Anderson, Trammell, Whitaker, Morris, Johnson, Gibson, and Hernandez is worth about $350.-$500. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. An Official American League Charles Feeny baseball would be most preferred for the signatures, or at least an official baseball. The Tigers Logo baseball could lower the value depending on how the logo displays with the signatures. Buyers preference. The team logo could also be an indication that the signatures on the baseball are stamped signatures as with a souvenir baseball. If the baseball is a souvenir baseball with stamped signatures, the ball might be worth about $10. Be sure they are not stamped before spending money on having the signatures authenticated.

What is the value of played Phillies baseball signed by 3 players?

The value of the baseball will be determined by which three ballplayers signed the baseball, the condition of the signatures, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Your baseball being game used could lower the value based on the condition of the baseball. Part of the value of the signatures will rely on how well the baseball displays the signatures. It would be hard to prove that the baseball was used during a Major League game. Anything less than a letter of provenance from a team or league official will not be good enough. Even if the baseball is proven to be game used, unless it is from a noted game, the bulk of the value will rely on the signatures. Signatures on a clean white baseball will sell at a higher value than a baseball with dirt on it.

What is the value of a 1932 Yankees team signed WS Game used baseball including signatures of the opposing team with provenance from House of David Jewish League?

The bulk of the value will rely on the authenticity, the condition of the signatures, and how well the signatures display on the baseball. A clean white baseball would be most preferred, and the "game used" baseball could devalue the signatures if dirty. It would be hard to prove that the baseball was a game used World Series baseball. Provenance from "House of David Jewish League" might not hold much weight. Even if it does the value will still rely on the signatures. The baseball would have a higher value without the signatures of the opposing team. For example: If you had a 2007 Red Sox team signed baseball you would have no trouble selling the baseball to a Red Sox collector. If you were to add the signatures of members of the New York Yankees to the ball you will have a hard time getting it sold at a quarter of the price. The Key signatures on getting top dollar would be Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig. If these signatures are on the sweet spot it will have a higher value or if the signatures can be viewed together as the baseball is displayed. Rogers Hornsby's signature might add value as well. The baseball will most likely sell to someone looking for a bargain on the Ruth, and Gehrig signatures and the condition of those two signatures is key. A 1932 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: McCarthy, Ruth, Gehrig, Sewell, Dickey, Pennock, Combs, Lazzeri, Ruffing, Gomez, and Allen is worth about $5,500.-$14,000. but you might be looking at the lower half of this price range or less. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. The House of David Jewish League provenance would not be acceptable as a letter of authenticity to get top dollar for the signatures. You should have ithe baseball authenticated by PSA/DNA or JSA.

How much is a baseball used for warm ups signed by three players worth?

The value will be determined by the value of the signatures on the baseball. Without the names of the players that signed the baseball a value cannot be given. The value of a multi signed baseball cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up. Value is based on the selling price of the signature(s) over a period of time. The value could go up or down depending on the number of collectors looking to buy that signature or group of signatures at that time, and the number of signatures that are available in the market. Supply and demand. "A baseball used for warm ups" could lower the value based on condition. A clean White baseball would be most preferred to display the signatures. If the baseball is soiled or shows use it will lower the value of the signatures.

What is the value of the 1935 home run baseball with tigers autographs?

Without a strong letter of provenance proving that the baseball was hit for a home run, it cannot be sold as such. Provenance is the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item. A letter form a team player or official would be sufficient, a letter from a fan would not hold much weight. Because the baseball is used it could lower the value of the signatures. A clean white baseball will bring a higher value. You did not list the player signatures that appear on the baseball, and I cannot help you with a value. Below is the value of a 1935 Detroit Tigers team signed baseball.
