Red Sox Team Signed baseball 1967

rhodysav

Hi everyone... I've got a baseball from my father's estate that is marked "Boston Red Sox 1967". There are no other printed markings on the ball like ball make or anything.

It has the team's signatures that look like they were printed on and not individually signed but I don't know anything about collectables like this. Dad was a service manager at a Caddilac dealership and he said one of his customers who worked for the Sox got it for him. Don't think it was a player but I remember him saying Sal somebody gave it to him and I noticed on the ball there was a signature of a coach Sal Maglie.

Dad keep it in a draw in a plastic box ( not one of those formal collector ones) so the ball has turned a bit brown but most all the signatures are still readable... here are the ones I could read ...
Galen Cisco
Hank Fischer
Jim Lonborg
Don McMahon
Dan Osinski
Jose Santiago
Lee Stange
John Wyatt
Russ Gibson
Mike Ryan
Mike Andrews
Joe Foy
Tony Horton
Rico Petrocelli
George Scott
Tony Conigliaro
Reggie Smith
George Thomas
Carl Yastrzemski
George Smith
Dick Williams
Sal Maglie

So does anyone know about this kind of collectable? Is there a place I can go to find out about who made them back then? What are they called? Thanks.

This is my first post on this board not sure about uploading pictures so I'll leave that for later if anyone is interested.

if the sigs look like they were stamped on, they are facsimile and the souvenir was sold at the ballpark for a few bucks. no real value there other than as a memento.

in the meantime, welcome and enjoy your stay.

Are there different color signatures or all the same color? Do any of the signatures overlap any of the other signatures? If not, then they are probably stamped on.

Edited to add: An like was said above, not very much value.

Thanks for the feedback guys... I suspected it was a ball park type of thing. A few of the signatures run into or over others but not in a flamboyant way. Some go into the stiching after a closer look. I thought that maybe they were printed on the leather first and then stichec but I guess not if the ink is on the stiching. Is there a way to post photos so you can take a look? Thanks for your welcome Itzagoner.
