George Kell and Al Kaline

If the Ball is in fair to poor condition and Kell's signature is good, you may as well give it to the dog to play with. Adding Kaline will not increase it's value. Considering that Kell has always been a gracious signer IP & TTM there is probably ten's of thousands of signed Baseballs out there. Your best bet would be to get a new baseball and send to Kell and then hope to either get Kaline at a show or send to him with probably a signing fee. I would not waste my time with a ball who's condition is basically worthless.

Then I'd say go for it.

I'm not the biggest expert, but I will say that from what I do know, you're pretty low value-wise right now, so from what I do know I don't really think you can go much lower.

1.) Is it an official major league baseball?

3.) Is there any additional writing on this baseball (personalization, inscription, etc.)?
4.) What was the ball signed with?
5.) What condition is the ball in?
6.) What condition is the signature in?

That should do it.

Sorry for the late reply.

1. Yes, an official MLB baseball
2. I'm not sure
3. No other inscriptions, just his signature.
4. A black pen, I think, or maybe blue pen. It could have been a fine-tip marker.
5. Not the best condition. I got it from a cousin so its not perfect. I'd say it's poor to fair condition.
6. Signature is good.

It several cases it could. The market is better for single signed baseballs than multiple signed baseballs.

The reason I asked what I did is because if the baseball is already in a condition not prized by the average collector, than the value is already so low it wouldn't matter and may rise with the addition of the other signature.

I have a ball autographed by George Kell. DO you think if I got Al Kaline to also sign it will it increase in value or decrease? They are both Tigers Hall-Of-Famers. What do you think?
