The value of a game used glove will vary depending on the player that used the glove. A Mickey Mantle Game Used glove sold for $239,000 to comedian Billy Crystal in 1995. The key to the value of any game used glove is the provenance that accompanies it.

Provenance is the documentation of 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. the provenance must come from a verifiable source. For example, a letter that comes from a source like a player, team executive, family member could have great impact while gloves that originate from a particular collection or gloves that come with letters from a spectator may not be given much, if any weight.

An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more. Common flaws would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. Un-scored programs will generally sell at a higher price than a scored program but sometimes it doesn't effect value. The over all condition, and how well the cover displays will. The value on a "scored" program as opposed to a un-scored program can vary depending on the game, and collectors preference. In general I would say an un-scored program will sell at a higher price.

The value of the baseball would be determined by the year of the team, and the signatures of key players, or the players that have made it to the major leagues.

Players like Dale Murphy, and Chipper Jones would have added value to the ball. The value might be less than a single signed baseball of the player or an Atlanta Braves team signed baseball but might appeal to a collector that desires an early example of the players signature.

The baseball could also have higher value if sold in the Richmond Virginia area as it is the local team. Collectors in that area might be interested in the baseball as a team they rooted for even if it lacks the number of players that made it to the Majors, but that would also limmit the number of collectors in the market.
