Anyone here a baseball nerd?

I have a couple of signed balls from my great grand father. My mother kept them put away forever and going through her stuff (she passed last year) I figured i'd see what they are worth and if I can find someone who could display and appreciate them.

I took them to a local memorabilia store who were able to certify them as authentic. One is a 1935 Tigers world series ball with the whole team and Babe Ruth on it. The other is a 1940 Tigers world series team signed ball.

My great grand father worked at the stadium and would go down and visit the team at times.

The shop said they have an auction that they run and would love to have them in their auction. Suggested that the Ruth ball could get $2Kish... then called me later to suggests that upon further research it would be valued closer to $4K and they would drop their consignment fee from 15% to 10%.

Just wondering if anyone had any advice on this topic.

Thanks in advance.
