OOk.. that's what I am doing: I went to ebay, did a seach for Ted Williams and sorted the search by Price (highest bids coming first). I then went to every ebay sale over $500 (you'd be surprised about the $8,000s sales they have on Ted Williams items) and emailed all bidders offering the baseballs. I also sent a link to the pictures. 6 people are VERY interested. I don't know how to proceed from here. they want to know If I have a certificate and how much for each ball. I went to the DNA webpage... they would charge $75 certify the Ted Williams baseball. The other ball with more signatures would cost a little more. I am kinda lost right now.

All those guys are/were stars (maybe not Dent) Thurman Munson, died in 1979, so his autograph is very rare The Ted Williams ball, now that he passed, is worth a fortune, you may just want to hang onto them, I really doubt their value will diminish. Chances are as those other players pass on, the value will skyrocket. Keep them, the day Reggie Jackson passes away you will be thanking me.... PS - Keep the balls Do not play catch with them either...LOL Last edited by KnuKonceptz; 03/12/03 02:15 PM. Previous Owner of 00 SVT Contour #1077/2150 95 Contour SE '01 3L

All of the signatures are New York Yankees, and Rizzuto was the play by play guy at the time, along with Bill White, I think. The sigs I can make out are: Greg Nettles, 3B Catfish Hunter, P Carlos May, OF Fred Stanley, IF Bucky Dent, 2B Chris Chambliss, 1B Ron Guidry, P (and a fine one at that) Mickey Rivers, OF (aka Mick the Quick) Paul Blair, OF Reggie Reggie Reggie Lou Piniella, OF (at the time) Thurman Munson, C (killed ina plane crash) Willie Randolph, SS I might be off on the year, and some positions, but I know those names pretty well. Had to live through that Yankee dynasty, and I'm a Met fan, so it was pretty rough. They are DEFINITELY worth some dough!!!! 98 SE Sport 2.5, ATX Dark Green Satin Metallic No mods yet (does hail damage count?)

PS - Keep the balls Do not play catch with them either...LOL I'd agree.. Hang on to them, don't sell em. Put em in a fireproof box, or even at a safety deposit box at the bank, and just let them sit. The memorabilia market back in the 70's wasn't NEARLY what is today. There's far less stuff from those players out there compared to the stuff out there from players today. If you can get $800 for a Ted Williams ball less than a year after he died, imagine how much you can get in 10 years.. And the team ball Instea of researching how to get rid of the balls, your efforts may be better spent on how to preserve them. My car.
