Should I???
I have signed baseballs of Johnny Pesky and Dom DiMaggio. I've been tempted lately to send them to Bobby Doerr to have him sign them, since Doerr Pesky Dom n Teddy were all close friends. My only concern is that I may diminish the value of the Pesky n DiMaggio balls, and since both have passed away, I may not be able to acquire others. I think it'd be awesome to have a ball signed by Pesky and Doerr, and Doerr n DiMaggio, but is it worth it to do? Let me know your guys thoughts on this because I'm completely torn 50/50 on this and it's driving me nuts. I don't wanna hold off much longer if I do send them to Doerr, he's getting up there and idk how much longer he's got left and his sig is getting pretty shaky lately. Please give me your input! I'm a torn Sox die hard! Do u think Doerr would find it cool to sign balls signed already by his closest friends or am I better off just leaving them all on separate balls? (I already have a Doerr ball as well)

I personally would leave them all as individual signed baseballs.

I think they have more value individually signed, unless you want them to be signed with multiple signatures. Go with what you want your collection to be. If it has more value to you signed individually or with dual sigs. What do you like is how you should determine this.

It is your collection and what you like is what is important. The value would be higher for individual signed baseballs on a resell value. The question is, if you are a die hard Sox fan would you ever sell them anyways? To me I would suggest getting a multiple baseball display and just pop your baseballs into it and display the three or four individual baseballs in the same display. I would not take the risk on baseballs that you will not be able to replace via TTM. The first rule of TTM is to not send something that you would be upset, if you lost it.

I definitely have no interest in ever selling, so I guess I shouldn't have mentioned "value" as a primary concern. I'm eventually gonna give them all to my son when he's old enough to care for and appreciate them...With that said, I was leaning towards just keeping them individually signed, and after reading the comments here, I definitely think that's what I'm gonna do..As for displaying them, they are already on a shelf in my man cave, along with about 30 other Red Sox balls. The HOFers have a SEPERATE display down there as well...Thanks for the advice guys. I was definitely torn but leaning, and you guys definitely helped me make up my mind. It's appreciated
