authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures

half the market value or less. Add for inscriptions.
Collectors
will pay more for inscriptions like "HOF 55"

Keep in mind that autographs can vary slightly. If a
ball player signs 1000 autographs, the first one might
be slightly different than the 1000th. so look for
certain characteristics. Also Like in the case Of Mickey
Mantle his Autograph is different at the beginning of
his carrier than it was later in his life. so the Date
the Autograph was signed is also important. Joe DiMaggio
had an arthritic problem with his hand, and had problems
signing baseballs. In fact towards the end he didn't
sign them at all, which drove the price up for signed
baseballs, so a signed Baseball might be slightly
different.
TIP!
Don't Forget to keep your
Autographs Away from a lot of Light, especially sun
light! even reflected sun light will take its toll. Also be aware of
team signed baseballs from the old days, in that on occasions,
Club house people sometimes signed for a player that was
not present.
The Ideal
conditions for display would be indirect lighting,
at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50%
humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for
signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive
handling.
