How much is a autographed Phil Niekro baseball worth?
It is difficult to put a value on multi signed items. The value of the signatures cannot be added up to come up with a total. Multi-signed items are valued as a whole, and how desired the signatures are as a group. Players of the same team, or players with the same achievements such as 500 home run hitters 300 game winners for example will fall into a "Group" that will be sought after by collectors. When you have a group of random signature it is difficult to gage what the item would sell for on the market. A common group of players such as Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and the Duke Snider (1950's NY center fielders) would be easier to value as this combination of player often comes up for auction. Add Phil Niekro to this combo and you will lower the value. It is no longer a NY center fielders group of signatures. Hall of Famer signatures are desired but even then, collectors will be choosy on the players they want to pay for. Pitchers are less desired on baseball bats as this is not the tool of their trade. Based on similar auctions of compatible players I would estimate the value of the Phil Niekro Willie McCovey Yogi Berra Duke Snider signed baseball bat at about $250.-$350. more or less depending on how well the bat displays the signatures, condition, 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.
