The sports autograph market is a bit tricky. There are a few things you need to consider when looking for an autograph of a superstar like Griffey. As many of these such items are forged, you need to be sure you are buying the real thing... buy from a reputable source with a credible letter of authenticity. Also, make sure that you get a crisp, clear signature. There are other factors such as -- did he sign on the sweet spot of the ball? And did he leave an inscription with his signature, which is a notation below the signature usually to indicate a feat (for example, if you are buying a Gary Carter ball, a common inscription is "HOF 2003"). Both of these should make the price of the ball rise.
If you do your homework and have 'covered all bases', you should be able to purchase somewhere in the ballpark of $75.00-$100.00 (although I have seen these for bargain prices -- again, I reiterate -- there is a lot of fraud in this market -- if you see a bargain, do your homework first).

Authenticity are very important for memorabilia, current market value on a good condition autographed Griffey jr ball with legit Certificate of Authenticity go for about $100, be advice, there are many fake Certificate of Authenticity out there, so, it's a good idea to deal with a well established company like Upperdeck when come to autographed memorabilia.
Price for the autographed Griffey jr ball without authentication are varies, you have to find a buyer willing to take a chance on it.

I would have to disagree with you. Even when he was in his prime, Willie Mays (the person who Griffey was most often compared to, ironically) was still better than Griffey. True, Mays did not quite put up the stats of Griffey. BUT, Mays had to play half his games at the Polo Grounds, which was basically a nightmare for hitters. He also had to patrol that massive center field area. If Mays would have played at a more hitter-friendly ballpark, even the Kingdome, he would probably have surpassed Griffey's numbers. Mays was also better defensively- you never see many highlight reel catches of Mays (other than his most famous catch) because Mays was always in the right position to make the play and therefore, he rarely needed to dive or leap to make the catch. Griffey in his prime, in my opinion, was the second best all-around baseball player ever, but Mays was better.

If the ball looks old and has a yellow tint to it, probably around $25 - $30 bucks on eBay. If it's mint, with good verification (photo's of him signing along with COA) probably around $35 - $ 50 bucks on eBay. Griffey is not as popular as he once was and his market has dwindled some. Good luck trying to sell the ball.

I'll give you $50.00 for it if you include the stipulation that I get half the money back when he hurts his hammy again this upcoming season.
