I actually have 2 of the exact same set ups, the signed ball in the holder with a Topps 2000 Opening day Jeter card. The signature looks like it was written in ball point pen, but it is fairly good, and the ball has a lot of wear around the stitches, and some dirt where the palm on a pitch would be, so it could be potentially game used, but I am not 100% sure.

My question to you guys is, do you think I should send this in to get certified? I am looking to sell it, but I am not sure if I should just sell it as-is, or spend on the certification ($50 for Jeter signed balls @ PSA) and see if it could fetch some more cash. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys

I'm a member of PSA, that would probably be my best bet right?

The autograph is legit and that ball is not game used. It's just dirty which kills the value along with the soon to be gone autograph which is fading.

Jeter autograph balls are pretty plentiful. He gives them away to all of his girlfriends.
