Question
My dad's father knew the trainer of the Sox in 1950 and got him an autographed baseball that clear coating. Ted Williams is above Steve O'Neill, I know a 1951 ball i saw is just the opposite. Several autographs are recognizable,  Dropo, Stobbs, DiMaggio and more...any idea of possible value and do you think it is worth the 150.00 to get it authenticated?

Answer

Ted's Signed Ball
Before you spend the 150.00 to get it authenticated, I suggest going to auction sites to see the going rate for items like yours.

Expertise

Boston Red Sox players, team & Fenway Park statistics and history are my strengths. Boston's minor league teams are not.

Experience

I've been attending Red Sox games yearly at Fenway Park since 1969. I thrive on Bosox trivia. I have been a huge Red Sox fan since I was 12 years old. My knowledge of Carl Yastrzemski is exceptional. He was my boyhood hero and I still miss his (hard-nose, give 100% every game) playing style to this day. I 'live & die' with the Red Sox every season, game and even every inning.
