Rawlings started making the official World Series game baseballs in 1978 that have an Official World Series Stamp.. Before that regular season American, and National League baseballs were used.

An Official Spalding 1968 (1951 - 1969) National League Warren Giles baseball is worth about $200. without the box in excellent condition An Official Reach 1968 (1959 - 1973) American League Joe Cronin baseball is worth about $200. without the box in excellent condition.

There would be no way of knowing if the baseball was used in the 1968 World Series game or a regular season game without provenance. A letter of provenance stating that the baseball was used during the 1968 World Series would be needed. The strength of the provenance will dictate the value. A letter of provenance from a team player or league official will be acceptable. A letter of provenance from a fan at the game will not hold much weight if any.

Provenance is 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.

What is the value of the 1958 LA Dodgers program?

Asked by Wiki User

This All-star game was Played on Brooklyn's Ebbets Field on July 12, 1949 hosted by the Brooklyn Dodgers. The American League beat the National league 11-7. The official All-star Souvenir Program is worth about $800.00 - $1,000. 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.

These commemorative bats are referred to as "Black Bats" and have been produced by batmaker Hillerich & Bradsy (makers of the "Louisville Slugger") to honor each season's American and National League champions since 1934. They were made in relatively large quantities (especially for Yankees and Dodgers teams) and presented to players and team personel, as well as league officials and VIPs. Ironically, bats made in the last ten years are worth more than those produced decades ago, as H&B cut down the quantities distributed significantly in the early 90's due to the expense. Yours is truly a function of its overall condition, with a safe appraisal being $100-150. Bats in Near Mint condition would warrant the top value and possibly more.

What is the value of a baseball autographed by Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the signatures are signed on an official NL ball from 1965, it would be a Warren Giles ball. Condition of the signatures, bold or faded will effect the value. Multi-signed or Dual signed baseballs with a noted player will sell for less than a single signed baseball of the same noted player. A Sandy Koufax single signed baseball is worth between $250.-$400. Add Wally Moon's signature, and it would most likely sell for under this price.

What is the value of a Brooklyn Dodgers 1940 pennant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A 1958 Los Angeles Pennant is worth about $75. - $125. in excellent to near/mint condition. Even minor flaws will bring the price down significantly. Common flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying, creases, and "crackling" on the printing. Sometimes people will trim down a pennant to rid it of the frying or other flaws like a flat tip (point) Caused by being pinned up and ripped off. Any of these flaws will degrade the pennant significantly. Doctored pennants - A term used to describe a pennant that has been altered to cover up a flaw, is a practice that is frowned upon among the collecting community, and could sell for less than a pennant with the flaws it was meant to cover up. Vintage pennants are difficult to date to a specific season. Many pennants were for sale at the ballparks for several years in a row. Team logo's and artwork could help in dating. Often team will use the same artwork on other souvenirs like programs, and yearbooks making it possible to date to a specific year.

Most pre 1970 full sized (12" x 30") felt pennants sell for below $50.- $100. Photo pennants, and scroll or roster pennants listing team players, Championship, and World Series Pennants are more desired by collectors and will sell for more. Premium mini pennants offered by candy companies in a special offer for example could also sell for more. As with all collectibles condition is important.

How did the dodgers decide on the colors blue and white?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the teams first years they were nicknamed the Brooklyn Bridegroms by the fans (7 of the teams players had gotten married over the offseason). The White in their uniform is called "Wedding Gown White" and the Blue is from the old wedding superstition "Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something BLUE!" So there you have it! Wedding gown white & borrowed blue. Go Dodgers!

Who are better Red Sox or dodgers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Yankees are the best team history wise and are slowly gaining back their reputation. They have had a rough start the past years but they are slowly making a comeback. Red Sox have very little history on competing Yankees when it comes to winning world championships, as they only have 7 world series cups while the Yankees have over 26. Yes, they have 26. The sad thing is, is that because the Red Sox can't hold a candle to Yankee's history, Red Sox fans will edit questions like these (and I am predicting that this will be edited in the next hour) with sayings like "YANKEES SUX GO RED SOX!!!!!!!111". Facts are facts Red Sox fans, get over it and leave it be.
