I have a signed baseball from Satchel Paige when he came to play in Kimberley BC CANADA. My father in law Red Mellor played against him and signed this ball for him. Not sure what year it was.
My husbands father passed it on to him.
Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige signed baseball, inscribed "Don´t look back best regards Satchel Paige". Baseballs signed by Paige were sold at auction. The highest price paid was at a prestigious auction with lots of pomp and circumstance, including a number of LOAs by the leading authenticators. This sum was paid thirteen years ago at the height of sports memorabilia prices for a baseball used during his active career. Later baseballs sell in the low hundreds. The baseball in your possession shows a handwriting which very well resembles Paige´s handwriting, plus the provenance you provided appears to add value, and the motto "don´t look back" is timeless. I assume the baseball in your possession would sell in the range of 1000-2500 USD if put up for auction this year.
