Limited edition is a term often used by makers of memorabilia to indicate scarcity. A limited edition means just that - production of the item in question will be limited to a certain number. However, that number may be large or small, and is relevant to the amount of collectors interested in it. The value of a limited edition item is high only if the number made is less than the number of collectors that desire the item. If the Limited amount made is more than the amount of collectors interested, the value will go down from the issued price.
Heavy Hitter makes many different baseball bats, and in general the resale value of these bats are under $100. Most of the heavy hitter bats (unsigned) are more of a novelty and have a low collectors base.

The 1948 Cleveland Indians Team Signed 1949 issued book of the Cleveland Indians history with the key signatures: Boudreau, Feller, Lemon, Mitchell, Bearden, Paige, Doby is worth about $180.-$275.
Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on how well the signatures display on the book, condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the book cover with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the book could sell at half the market value or less. The bulk of the value will rely on the signatures, and not the collectible value of the book. The type of ink used to sign the book and how well they stand out in contrast to the book will effect the value as well.
What is the value of a July 1 1951 Cleveland Indians program?
A 1951 Cleveland Indians program/Scorecard is worth about $30.-$45. in excellent - near/mint condition. As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. 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. Some collectors do not mind scored programs

The Ludlow Wildcats baseball team a minor league team in the Cleveland Indians organization?

Youngest player to ever play for Cleveland Indians?
The 17-year old Feller became the youngest player ever to play a regular season game.
When was the longest game in Cleveland Indians history?
I was at a game at the old Cleveland Stadium that was the 2nd game of a double header. It was in the late 1950's or early 1960's. I think I remember it was actually called a "Twi-light" or "Twi-night" double header. I thought it ended in the 21st inning, but that could be wrong. Maybe it was the 19th or 20th inning. I cannot find this game in an internet search. Does anyone else remember anything about this? (Most people had left by the time it ended, I think between 1 and 2 AM. ---- Good memory!
On June 14, 1963 the Indians and Washington Senators played a twilight (twinight) doubleheader. The Senators won the first game, 5-2, and the Indians won the second game, 3-2, in 19 innings on Willie Kirkland's home run off of Jim Coates leading off the bottom of the 19th.
Click on the "Indians/Senators June 14, 1963" link below to see a box score of the game.
The Indians played a 22 inning game against the Minnesota Twins on August 31, 1993 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. The Twins won. 5-4, on a leadoff home run by Pedro Munoz off of Jason Grimsley in the bottom of the 22nd. ---------------- Wow, thanks!! I was beginning to think I was crazy. And thanks for the box score link which helped me remember a lot more. Gary Bell was my favorite player and this was one of his best pitched games. As a teenager, I loved keeping score, but the scorecards only had room for 10 innings. After so long of writing in the margins I finally gave up trying! Thanks again. . . Ginger
What does the 1948 team autographed Cleveland Indians' baseball look like?
