Team Signed / Autographed Baseballs (p1)

Team Signed Baseballs Values
Pricing team signed baseballs is difficult due to subjectivity and factors involved suce as: Signatures placement, quality, strength, number of autographs, stars, age, team significance, and eye appeal considering fading, whiteness, scuffs, shellacking, staining, overall wear...

Team autographed baseballs on official league balls get higher values. They are "official", made better, preserve better and even help in dating especially with balls signed at "Reunion" baseball card shows which brought together great teams of the past.

Facsimile Autographed Balls
1960's/1970's machine-printed "autographed" team baseballs were sold at stadium gift shops for around $1.95. Easy to identify as all signatures were uniform in ink, color, size and look. "Facsimile" signatures are also often found on baseball cards.

1972 Milton Bradley
Baseball Game & Cards

In 1972, Milton Bradley went back to their large card set sized baseball card board game, replicating their 1969 issue.
Again the baseball cards came in several perforated sheets but this time the set was an even larger (378) unnumbered 2x3 inch cards. And again, they were boring !
And this time there was no REGGIE JACKSON ROOKIE to save the day.
1969 and 1972 Milton Bradley cards are almost exactly the same.
EXCEPT:
The 1969's red '1's do not have a base
The 1972's red '1's DO have a base.
There are some dice roll differences between the 1969 and 1972 sets.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
