Quick question: Approx. value of a Bart Giamatti auto'd ball?

[Moonlight Graham]

I would appriecate a concensus of opinions on how much a Bobby Brown Official American League ball autographed by Bart Giamatti would be worth if there is a personalized inscription? "to Col. John, All Best, Bart Giamatti.

Obviously worht more if you happen to be named Col. John...

Thanks for any and all opinions!

Don't you mean Bart Gravretto?

Maybe $300 or so depending on the location of the signature and personalization. Price could probably go from $200-400 I'd think.

Yes!

I took a shot and bought the Bart Gravretto... It'll be nice to authenticate (haven't gotten stuck yet on a Goodwill auto ball). Thanks for helping... JBrown, it was too late to ask if you were bidding too... got my bid in with about 14 seconds left... after I saw Height & Weight Proportional Hockey's reply.

I met his son Paul, the actor a couple of weeks ago, he came into where I work.

Don't worry, I didn't bid. I just didn't like to location of the signature. The Billy Martin ball that was on there was pretty nice though.

FYI:

Real sweet spot single signed giamatti balls (non personalized), I will pay $800 per!

That's cool. I didn't know Paul Giamatti was his son.
I just looked up his filmography, and of the dozens of movies and shows he's been in, not one is about baseball.
I wonder if he's a baseball fan, or just never got the chance to be in a baseball movie.

I work at the alma mater of his' library and he was doing a play here, he has been here for like a month. One of the guys I work with graduated with him and is good friends with him. Not sure why he has never done a baseball movie, in fact, he probably would have been good in 42. I saw this in an interview of his: [h=6]Speaking of sports, your father was the commissioner of major league baseball for a brief time in the late ‘80s.[/h]Giamatti: I never really took advantage of the perks the way that I could have and maybe should have. I had a real love of baseball that my father instilled in me, but I was much younger then and thought I’d have a lot of time to see the World Series and playoffs with him. And then you suddenly have that time taken away.
