If the card is autographed what is its worth?

Answer 1

Autographed Baseball cards

In general, autographed Baseball cards are worth about 30 -40 percent (or less) the value of a signed baseball. The percentage will vary based on the popularity of the player that signed the card.

A collector 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 value of the 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. Even if the baseball card has a low value today, if the price goes up in the future the value will be diminished by the signature.

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.
