1970s Dodger Baseballs

Tip

I have several baseballs signed by the entire team and some by top players from the Dodgers in the 70s and even a couple of combos of Phillys and Dodgers. Some are clean white and some are pre-game playing balls. Any idea of their value and where to market them?

it really all depends on who signed them , the condition of the signatures and the condition of the baseballs

Unfortunately, they are likely not worth a whole heck of a lot of money. Perhaps the years that they were NL Champsions [but WS losers] might have some value. But, ultimately, they were very good teams, but otherwise forgettable. No real star players on the team. Steve Garvey and Don Sutton were the stars of the team. None of the others add that much. From the early 1970s, a Walt Alston single-signed might [ironically] be worth more than a team-signed ball. I'd say $150- range, depending on quality and number of signatures.

also have to make sure they are not the stamped/facsimile signature balls that a lot of collectors mistake for the real deal...

pictures would help

I have one also and have looked into it before. They are worth very little. Under $100 from my research. Mine is late 70's ('77 or so).

Mike Marshall ('74 CYA pitcher, not '80s OF) would be an extremely important signature. He is one of the toughest living autographs.
On a '78 ball, coach Jim Gilliam would matter a lot to the value - he died late in the season.

The Dodgers were popular, but most of their star players were very accommodating signers, and supply of team-signed balls is plentiful (it doesn't help you that many of the players have had long associations with the team after they retired (coaching, broadcasting, community relations, etc.).
