What is the value of a Joe DiMaggio and Phil Rizzuto signed baseball?

The type of ink used and how well it stands out in contrast to the cap will effect the value as well. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions.

How can you authenticate an autographed Joe DiMaggio baseball?
An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the price or less than one that is. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA(psadna.com), and James Spence Authentic (JSA) spenceloa.com. Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it. Check the respective websites Show Schedule to see if they will be in the area that you live. They also do business through the mail. Before spending money on having the autograph authenticated do your homework. Find signatures on line that have been properly authenticated, and compare them to yours. If you feel comfortable that they are authentic then proceed.
