1958 Milwaukee Braves signed baseball (Hank Aaron)

PureVendue

I recently won a storage unit that contained some sports Memorabilia. The two big ticket items were an Autographed Sergei Fedorov jersey and an Autographed baseball that contained the entire 1958 Milwaukee Braves team (including all-time great Hank Aaron and four other HOFers). I took both to a local dealer who was certain they are both authentic. The jersey I'm sending in to get authenticated but I was looking to get an idea of what the market value of the baseball would be. It's going to cost about $150 to get it authenticated and wanted to make sure it was worth it. Anyone have any idea what this could be worth?

Its only worth it if your sure its not a printed signature ball. We see alot of finds show up here only to have the ball end up being printed. Post pics if you can.

Obviously not a printed ball. Looks legit to me with an early version of Hank Aaron's signature. It looks like there are some minor staining issues, if legit and an official ball, I'd guess it's somewhere in the $300-$400 or up range if all the big names are on there.

All kidding aside, I wouldn't pay the $150 authentication fee, but rather would consign it to an auction house who would include the authentication as part of their consignment fee....

I'd contact Lelands, REA, Hunt, etc.
