How much would team autographed balls from the 1956 Yankees and 1956 Red Sox be worth?
According to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," the '56 Red Sox ball is worth between $200-250, and the World Champion Yankees ball considerably more: $500-800, value being greater or lower depending on exact players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Casey Stengel on the Yanks ball and Ted Williams on the Red Sox ball - plus the all-important overall condition of the balls and autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (are they "Official American League" baseballs?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and total number of signatures present. The authenticity of the Mantle, Stengel and Williams signatures are of particular importance, as all used "ghost-signers" extensively. These factors, plus the authenticity of all the significant and key signatures are the main variables in determining value. 1956 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball A 1956 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Vernon, Jensen, and Williams is worth about $300-$400. 1956 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball A 1956 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Stengel, Rizzuto, Berra, Slaughter, Mantle, Ford, Howard, Martin, Bauer, Larsen is worth about $2,500-$3,100.
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.

How much is my sears model 54 30-30 worth?
I'm quite sure that the Sears model #54 in 30-30 cal. was made by Winchester and is a duplicate of their model #94. These firearms were made to sell for a price of somewhat less than one could buy the same gun with the Winchester name on it. This was generally accomplished by using wood other than walnut and spending less time and care in the overall finish applied to the firearm. This, I'm sure, did not effect the safety or shootability of the firearm with the possible exception that the action did not cycle as smooth as a real Winchester. They probably sold for 20% to 30% less than a real Winchester.
The collectability of Winchesters does not spill over to "trade" guns such as this. The value of any used gun obviously relates to its overall condition. I would think you would be lucky to get 50% of what a like condition Winchester would fetch. Even if the firearm is in very good condition I would be surprised if a gun shop would offer you more than $150 for this firearm. A private party transfer mayby $50 bucks more to a knowledgeable buyer.
