How much is a Ted Williams autographed card from 1979?

Answer 1

A Ted Williams autographed Baseball card is worth between $120. -$250. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and will lower the value.

A collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. The autograph collectors main concern is displaying the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive baseball card signed. You could devalue the price of the card, and get less for it.

Once a collectible baseball card is signed the value of the card dramatically goes down as a collectible. The card then becomes an Item to display the signature. The bulk of the value relies on the value of the signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature.

In general a signed baseball card is worth about 30% - 40% the price of a signed baseball or compatible in value of a signed 8 x 10 photo. A high valued card can add some value to the signature. In recent auctions a 1977 TCMA Renata Galasso Ted Williams #10 Signed Card, PSA Authenticated and encapsulated in a protective holder sold for $131. another card from 1980 that was also PSA encapsulated sold for $119.

The value stated above was based on signed cards from various years, and all were authenticated, and encapsulated. Non authenticated cards will sell for less.
