One of the best barometers of value on the internet right now is eBay. Check it out. If you don't see the exact same ball then check out people who have others for sale and write to them to ask their opinion

Check with eBay: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=Autograph+and+baseball&category0=
Look up and see what auctions are going on. A lot of people are running eBay stores. They auction off each item, but they have others to replace it and sell it again. They never get the same price for that same item twice, but they get the best price offered for that time.
Look and see what the bids are being offered then go to a baseball card collector and ask their opinion. Card Shops, card conventions and card shows will have those items. You can get a good idea of what the average price is and how much the market is flooded.
As always the value depends on the rarity, the skill of the player, the demand for his autograph, if the autograph is real or not and what someone is willing to pay. When you line up at a show and pay a ball player for his autograph you know you have the real thing. When you send in a ball for an autograph for all you know the bat boy signed it, and that happened a lot; just ask Pete Rose.

do you have certs for them? if not, they aren't worth much. a good way to find out how much balls are worth are to see what they charge at signings. player autographs are so common now, the players pretty much determine their value. or put them on ebay with a really high reserve that no one would ever meet and see what the highest bids are. if the reserve isn't met, you don't have to sell to the highest bidder.

It depends. If the baseball is really old and it's signed by Babe Ruth, chances are everyone's gonna want it. Take your baseballs to a specialist and he'll figure out the price.

Most of those guys are future hall of famers
save them and wait till they get inducted and a few more years after that and you have some pretty valuable baseballs
