1955 New York Yankees Souvenir Baseball Mickey Mantle

This is a 1955 New York Yankees, Souvenir Baseball, with Facsimile Autographs. Sold at the Stadium, these souvenir baseballs have been a fan favorite for decades. This is one of the first souvenirs kids get when they go to their first Major league game, and for Decades they also Played with them. (not as much today). Most of them have been used to submission, or the signatures faded over the years. But the few that make it through the years are very desirable. The sweet Spot on this Baseball Belongs to Casey Stengel. Mickey Mantle Facsimile Autograph Shows up as a small un important signature signed in his old Style Autograph. Yogi Berra is signed Larry Berra, and Whitey Ford is signed Ed Ford. Because of this I thought the ball was of a earlier date, but But I dated the ball on the fact that Don Larson's first year as a Yankee was 1955, and Bob Wiesler latest year was also 1955. Newer souvenir baseballs (1980s +)sell for $10-$15 Pre 80s $20 - $35 and Pre 70s as high as $100. A 1961 Baseball with Mantle, and Maris Signatures would be very desirable, and can sell for more.
