Value will vary based on condition, and type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Rare examples of a pristine signature or inscriptions like "The Mick" "HOF 1974" or 536 HR's" could raise the price to the $1,000. price range. Personal inscription like "Good luck Mike" could sell below $400. A rarely signed full name signature "Mickey Charles Mantle" could break the $2,000 price range.
After condition the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature will dictate the price. Mickey Mantle was under contract with the Upper-Deck company before he passed away. Baseballs that have the Upper deck hologram could sell in the $1,000.-$1,500. price range. signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
2001 Game used World Series baseballs sold, and authenticated by Steiner Sports sell in the $100.+ price range. If you caught the baseball at the game it will be hard to prove that the baseball was used during a World Series game. A letter of provenance from a team player or league official would be acceptable to prove it is a World Series game baseball. Then it could have higher value. A letter of provenance from a fan at the game will not hold much weight if any.
A 1943 New York Yankees program/Scorecard is worth about 35.00.-$50.00 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.
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 it 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, or might prefer it scored. A game in note that might sell at a higher price "scored" would be Don Larsens perfect game in the World Series. More than just a Baseball program, the scorecards from this era are a piece of American history. Buy United States War bonds printed on every page, Reminding people to save cooking fats for the war effort, ( I believe to make nitro) there is even an Air Raid evacuation plan. Below I will leave a link to a 1942 Yankees scorecard for more information.
A 1961 New York Yankees Team signed baseball with the Key signatures: Kubek, Berra, Mantle, Ford, Howard, Maris, and Tresh is worth about $1,500.-$2,000. Price 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.
The fact that the baseball is game used can lower the value of the signatures based on the condition. The bulk of the value will rely on the signatures, and how well the baseball displays the signatures. A game used baseball with signs of wear, and soil will not make a good display. The value of the baseball as "Game -Used" will rely on the provenance that accompanies it. Otherwise it is just a used baseball.
If the baseball does have provenance proving that the baseball was used in a Major League game by the Yankees, it might add value based on the strength of the provenance. The provenance would have to be from a team official, player or family member. A letter of provenance from a fan or stating it is from a collection is not sufficient. In a recent auction a 1961 Yankees team reunion baseball without Roger Maris sold for $1,200.

From the 56 years span between 1950-2006 there are 119 different New York Yankees yearbooks. There are 85 different just in the 27 year period from 1956-1982, and there are three or more different for virtually every year in that 27 year stretch including five different from one year. Different publication include Jay publishing Co., official Yankees first editions, 2nd editions, 3rd editions, and revised editions.

There are three editions for the 1974 yearbook, and all three feature a 7" 33 1/3 LP on the 50th Anniversary of Yankee Stadium. The first edition roster page (36) dated April 1, the second edition dated May, 12, no indication on the cover that it is the second edition revised on top of the first page, and third edition dated August 1, no indication on the cover that it is the third edition revised on top of the first page.
First editions in the case of yearbooks normally sell for less because they are sold throughout most of the year, and more are available. The added editions are printed at the end of the season, and are more rare. The second & third edition for the 1974 Yankee yearbook sell for about $5.-$10 more than the first. I have included a link below to a New York Yankees yearbook check list, and price guide.
Because most major league teams, minor league, college and high school teams are on the first base side if they are the home team!! Some teams are on the third base side due to maybe superstition.. that being the Cubs are on the first base line due to tradition.
Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada all have 5 championship rings each.
There are two numbers you could reasonably say were Derek Jeter's first "professional" number.
The first time Jeter technically became a professional was in 1992, when the New York Yankees picked him sixth overall in the draft. Like most new players, however, he did not go directly to the major leagues; the Yankees first placed him in their minor league system. It's hard to determine the first jersey number he wore in the minors, since far less attention is payed to the minor leagues than the majors. Fortunately, there were several collectible "rookie edition" baseball cards made of Jeter; from pictures of these, it would be a reasonably good guess to say that Jeter's first minor league number was "13". A link to a picture of one of these cards is included in the related links.
Jeter's first major league number is much easier to find; he's used the same one for his entire major league career. Jeter's first major league number was "2".
The Yankees use several different television announcers during the season.
Michael Kay, Ken Singleton, Bob Lorenz, David Cone, Paul O'Neill, John Flaherty, Al Leiter and Lou Piniella.
The Yankees made three World Series appearances in the 1990's.
