Need help on a Brooklyn Dodger Autographed Ball 33/34?

rdkrdk

Going through my wife's family's storage we stumbled onto an autographed baseball. It's in rough shape, has 19 signatures. Here are the ones I can make out:

Hack Wilson
Casey Stengel
Al Lopez
Otto Miller
Danny Taylor
Lefty O'Doul
Van Mungo
Chick Cuccinello

Based on an hour of surfing the internet it seems like Stengel's years (33-36), and Wilson's ('31-34) narrow this down to 33 or 34.
My questions are:

Are there any particular autographs (other than those above) I should look for which would be valuable?
Are there any particular players to look for that would definatively give me a year on the ball?
What is the approximate value range for a ball like this?

Thanks for any help.

It's a 33. Lefty O'Doul was not on the 34 roster. Miller was a coach.

Sorry, but can't help on value. Maybe go to http://www.ha.com (I think that address is correct, but if not, search for Heritage Auctions) , and do a completed auction search for 1933 Dodgers and see what pops up. Maybe you'll find one to compare to.

Good luck,

Mike

Thanks for the plug (I swear I don't know Mr. Navarro). And he is correct, our archives are a great reference, but we're always happy to help if anyone needs appraisal help for something which may not be in our archives (which isn't much at this point). Images are always very helpful though, since condition plays a major role in valuation, as we all know. And I'll take this opportunity to say everyone should come say hello at the National if you're going. We're going to have our current auction, which is amazing, on display at our booth too, so that should be the coolest museum on the floor.
