What is the origin of autograph?
Don't quote me on this but 'autograph' might come from the French word 'Orthographe' and translates as 'spelling'. But then again I don't know for sure.
But I found this.
The word is Greek in origin:
"Auto" for "self"
"Graph" from "graphein", meaning "to write"
Thus, "autograph" means to write oneself--as in one's identity.

If the baseball is from the 1972 World Series it could have a lower value based on condition. A clean white baseball would be most preferred to display the signature. Added value as a World Series game ball would be in your ability to prove so. A "Game used" baseball would have to be accompanied with provenance, and the quality of the provenance will dictate the added value. A letter from a player, team, or League official would be acceptable. A letter from a fan at the game would not hold much weight if any. Without provenance the added value will rely on the buyers belief in your story.

According to the collector's price guide "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth $500, but this value can be greater or lower depending on players present - in particular the inclusion of Hall of Famers Kiki Cuyler, Gabby Hartnett and Billy Herman - plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official National League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. Player autograph were often signed by clubhouse attendants, so authenticity of the significant signatures is still the main factor in determining overall value.
