Ask The Experts: What Are My Jackie Robinson and Ronald Reagan-Signed Baseballs Worth?
One is a ball autographed at the 1969 Centennial of Baseball cocktail party by 20 Hall of Famers. From 1962 through 1968, I was the stadium announcer for the Washington Senators (before, during, and after law school). In 1969, I asked Bob Addie (of the Washington Post) if he needed any help with distributing press credentials. In return, he got me into the cocktail party before the huge dinner that night. And I walked around getting signatures on one ball. (Would that I had had the foresight to bring a box of balls.) The ball was also signed by Roy Campanella’s health-keeper, who signed “Campy.” I’m sorry now that I got Frank Borman to sign, but he was an American hero in his own right, having just returned from circling the Moon. While he adds a story to the ball, I would suspect that his signature probably detracts in some manner from the ball’s value.
KRIS BRYANT ROOKIE CARD ALREADY WORTH $90K
Well, baseball card values have bottomed out and your 1987 Topps complete set (still the coolest looking in my opinion with that wooden background) might get you $60. Only extremely rare cards matter anymore, and apparently Kris Bryant is set to amaze us again… this time with his baseball card.

But some people now want their selfies signed
“It is absolutely true that there’s less demand for autographs,” says Michael Hecht, a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley who, for the past ten years, has also served as president of the Universal Autograph Collectors Club (UACC), one of the largest autograph societies in the world. “There’s a diminishing demand for print journalism. There’s a diminishing demand for stamps. There’s a diminishing demand for autographs.”

SI autograph hound: Kate Upton an ‘ugly human being’
The 50-year-old retired investment banker owns the world’s largest collection of signed SI covers — approximately 94 percent of the magazines issued weekly since 1954 — which he values at around $2 million.
Speaking of ugly human beings, I wouldn’t pay the $424 that they’re asking for Sarah Michelle Gellar. She’s such a nasty piece of work that I wouldn’t even cross the street for her. She’s just vile. I can never support her in any future project she does, and her attitude is the reason her 15 minutes were up long ago.
I like Sarah Michelle Gellar; been a fan since I was an adolescent. However, $425.00 for one autographed (tiny) card is outrageous. I’ve heard her autograph is rather rare (difficult signer) and seen some on Toppixautographs for $125.00. Assuming those are authentic, I’d rather by an 8X10 for a fraction of the price than the small card. Crazy!!!
