1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball

[cjt1994@yahoo.com]

I am trying to get a feel for the value of my 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers baseball. The signatures are clear and the ball is in excellent condition

Quick story of how I got it -- my father grew up in Peru, Illinois. His next-door neighbor was the Meyer family, and Russ Meyer played on the 1955 team. Russ had everyone sign the ball for my dad, who passed it on to me a few years ago.

The names on the ball are:
Walter Alston
Pee Wee Reese
Duke Snider
Carl Furillo
George Shuba
Rube Walker
Frank Kellert
Gil Hodges
Sandy Amoros
Carl Erskine
Jim Gilliam
Billy Loes
Sandy Koufax
Russ Meyer
Don Newcombe
Ed Roebuck
Roy Campanella
Clem Labine
Jackie Robinson
Don Hoak
Johnny Podres
Don Bessent
Karl Spooner
Dixie Howell

Does anyone know what this might be worth?

Thanks!!

With Campanella and Robinson on the ball, I would say that would be worth several thousand dollars. If I were you though, I would bring it to a professional sports apprasier or auction house to see what their estimate on it would be.

I have seen balls in good shape go for the $3000-8000...depending on condition and obviously authentication. With no authentication, this ball is worth as little as $1200 (assuming it is still real).
