So many questions:
Who is on the sweet spot?
How were the autos obtained?
What is the condition of the autos?
Definitely need to see a pic from all sides of the ball.

The Campanella signature is the biggest, but multi-signed balls are tough to generate too much money.

Value assuming the Campanella is good? Maybe somewhere in the range of $300.

Brock on the sweet spot.

Gilmore will post the pics.

My brother-in-laws granddad was a MLB photographer. Many, many great pics and other balls...but this is the only one with all HOF.

Another ball with Campy on it...most, if not all Dodgers...
Bill Russell, Reggie Smith, Campy, Wes Parker, Duke Snider, Dusty Baker, Ralph Branca, and some other I cannot make out.

A LOT has to do with MANY factors. Condition of the ball, condition of the auto's, placement of said auto's, ect...

I'd say in all but worst condition it's a ~$300 ball. Average case could be ~$500, but something like this in great condition and all variables being top tier, I could see $800+ and would not be shocked to see $1000+. Again, condition is everything!

The Campanella will obviously be a post accident sig, and they are not as much in demand...
Depends on how attractive it is, some of his are just scribble and lose eye appeal

The rest are common with the only connection being all HOFers.

Is it signed in sharpie or ball point?

Not exactly a bad connection to have.

The problem is that you are looking at a Campanella signature with 10 of the most common Hall of Famer signatures.

Even an acceptable looking Campanella signature, it's a tough sell higher than $300 in my eyes.

Put it up for auction and find out.

Hodge podge balls like this don't fetch much at all. Helps that it does have HOF theme. My guess is couple hundred if you get lucky and happen to find two bidders wanting something like this at same time. Ball has more value to you knowing the providence of it, than some third party buyer.

I would bet that this ball go for at least $400 on auction.. because that is what I would bid on it at the very least..

Since I collect Campy.. The other's are just some hack Hall of Famers that just happen to be on the ball with him..

Also the League President dates the ball as well..

I'd love to see the Dodgers auto'd ball as well..

Catfish and Stargell are nice ones also.

Campy is the big one but those two are also marketable.
