What would a 1935 Babe Ruth signed baseball to a specific person in 1935 when Yankees came to york for an exhabtion game be worth?

One of the most prized signatures in the hobby a Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. A baseball in poor condition with a weak signature could sell in the $4,000. price range or less, and a minty baseball with a strong signature could sell in the $15,000 price range or more. Collectors will pay more for inscription such as baseballs that were dated by the ballplayer, or in reference to an historic event. Personal inscription such as "To my friend Mike" will sell for less but, there is more of a tolerance for signatures from the older ballplayers like Babe Ruth. With the signature of Babe Ruth being the focus of the collectible, the condition, display, and placement of the signature is most importatnt. If the signature is not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. For more information and a sample of a Babe Ruth signature see Related Links below.


Does a card have to be signed to be valuable?

No. Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature such as the cover of a magazine or baseball card 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, and a collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. 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. A cheap inexpensive baseball card that is worth .50 cent for example will be worth more with a noted players signature on it. The collectible baseball card now becomes an item to display the signature, and the bulk of the value will now rely on the value of the signature. An expensive baseball card valued at $200. for example will have the opposite effect, in that the collectible baseball card becomes an item to display the signature. The signature now becomes the collectible item. if the signature is only worth $40. it would bring the price down. It would be considered to a baseball card collector to be defaced and not be valued as a the collectible card in "mint condition." The value now relies on value of the signature and how well the card displays the it. In the example of the $200. baseball card and the $40. signature the baseball card will bring more value to the signature but less than the value of the card un signed. Basically a collectible baseball Card, and an Autograph are two different items. Once the Card is signed it is not a collectible baseball card it is a signed Item.

How much is a Ted Williams autographed Sears Roebuck baseball worth and how much more is it worth with a COA and the original box the ball came in?

The Sears & Roebuck baseball would be a collectible by itself, and the value would vary depending on the age of the baseball. Regardless of the value of the baseball as a collectible, once the baseball is signed by a player the bulk of the value will rely on the value of the signature. The value of the baseball as a collectible is lost to the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the baseball, and a collector of vintage baseballs will not pay the full collectors value with the signature. The collectible baseball then becomes an item to display the signature, and the signature is the collectible. In this case, the Ted Williams signature will have a much higher value than the collectible Sears & Roebuck baseball. A Ted Williams single signed baseball is worth between $350.-$600. The Sears & Roebuck baseball could add some value to the signature, making it more desirable. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Add for inscriptions. The most desired baseball for a signature would be a baseball made during the players career, and of the same League. Because of the connection Ted Williams had with Sears & Roebuck the baseball could be of equal value. Keep in mind that a collector of baseballs will display the Manufacturer stamping on the ball, and a collector of autographs will display the signature, making the Manufacturer stamping secondary. The box will have added value but to the baseball collector, and not as much to the autograph collector. The Condition of the signature, and the accompanying C.O.A. that you have will dictate the bulk of the value.


Is an autographed scorecard worth more than an autographed baseball?

Signed ScorecardAn autograph scorecard cover is compatible in price with a 8X10 photo, in general about 60 percent the value of a signed baseball. The paper used for the cover of a scorecard is of lower quality than a photo and condition is very important as the display of the signature. If the signature appears on the inside it will be valued as a "cut signature" about 10-20 percent the value of a signed baseball.
