    I wouldn't bother with the Reggie and Martin, they don't look right to me. The Munson is worth getting a cert for. Nice Munson balls can sell in the $2000-3000. Yours being on a dirty ball and on a side panel might knock it down a bit. Martin balls bring $150-300 on white OAL balls.

    Jackson's are readily available with nicer sigs and inscriptions for ~$100.

    Hope that helps.

    I think he meant this is the same ball? Send it in to PSA and get a cert.

    My brother has a 1977 Team signed Yankee baseball with 18 sigs , I have to be honest the sigs on that baseball look nothing like this one , His Munson, you can clearly see it says Thurman Munson , unlike this one , but that don't mean it isn't authentic , he could have rushed it .

    The Jackson is way off , I see several things that make me think it could have been Ghost signed , or Clubhouse .

    The Martin, I don't really remember what that looked like

    You can get a quick opinion if you click the PSA/DNA link at the upper right hand part of your screen .
    If I am not mistaking . . .

    actually, I think they are all legit but I would encourage you to send it in to either PSA or Spence to have it authenticated (regardless of your plans for it). Please let us know what you find out...

    I have had more than a couple hundred Reggie sig's over the years and this one looks good to me. It looks like many other ballpark sig's I've seen and owned.

    I agree with Ironman, they all look good to me, I'd send it to PSA/DNA, that's the only way to maximize your money. You'll get a ton of different opinions, you may as well pay for a professional one that will help you get the ball sold.

    I said that the Reggie and Martin didn't look "right" I actually agree with Ironmanfan that the sigs might indeed be legit.

    I was under the initial impression that they were separate balls (late night, coffee had LONG since worn off) and the fact that the Reggie and Billy were not really nice sigs I would not send those in as the resale value of he balls isn't worth the fees charged when better examples are available.

    The value of the ball clearly is in the Munson, but since PSA/DNA "discounts" multi-signed balls certainly have them all authenticated. Don't bother with paying extra for a grade though, as the quality of the signatures would merit a low grade.
