This might be better served here, in the Collector's forum.

Very nice ball you have. a good place to see market value is on ebay. I just briefly looked on ebay, and found an o.k. 1978 reds team ball w/ a buy it now of 300. So, if I had to guess, I'd say it's easily $500, but couldn't imagine it being more then 1000. You could also bring it to a local card/collectors shop or a convention show to get a better estimate. But most of us here really don't know exact prices for a lot of the things people ask for, and there is no exact price for any autograph, it's just what someones willing to pay for it. I'd recomend just keeping it.

I've been in the business a long time... My best guess would be around $500 tops. Sounds like a pretty cool ball though.

The best and only way to get a true value is eBay. You can get a TRUE value of anything on eBay (see what it actually sells for). A card store is never good for any appraisal, they sell modern garbage, and 95% wont have a clue on the item you ask about, especially prewar items (1880-1940).
Go to eBay and do a completed auction search and you will see what an item like that has sold for in the past. Id est it would sell in the $300-$500 range mainly because it really isnt that old and most are still living. When you go back to the 1930-50 era thats when you hit $1000-$3000+ balls. Nice find. Good luck.
If anyone has old baseball cards they need info on I will gladly help. When I say old I mean 60-120 years old.

Unfortunately none of those cards have retained a very high value. In the late '80s and early '90s all the card companies massively overproduced their cards. For example, the book value on that Barry card is probably about $1, which means that you would be fortunate if someone were to actually offer you a quarter for it.
