A 1914 Babe Ruth rookie Baseball card - just the tenth card of its kind to be discovered - which sold at auction in April. for about $270,000. The card was produced by the Baltimore Sun Newspaper. The second most valuable baseball card behind only the 1909 T206 Honus Wagner tobacco card (which recently sold at auction for $2.35 million).
A Babe Ruth single signed baseball, the finest known Ruth-signed ball, graded 9.5 out of 10 by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) sold for $150,000 in 2005. Babe Ruth single signed baseballs in general sell for about $4,000.-$10,000. so this price is well above the market value.
In an Auction held on May 6, 2006 a Joe DiMaggio Marilyn Monroe dual signed baseball sold for $191,200. I believe this is the highest price ever paid for a signed baseball. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. Signatures on Official Major league baseballs used during the time of the player's career have more value. Joe Jackson is the rarest of signed baseballs but there has not been a recent Joe Jackson single signed baseball auctioned off in years. If one was to be auctioned off today it most would most likely sell for more than the Babe Ruth baseball listed above. For more information on Joe Jackson signatures see related question below.

A "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Single signed baseball has a "book Value" of about $25,000.-$40,000. Rarely found in auction this price could be well below the actual market value.
A Joe Jackson signature is perhaps the scarcest in all of sports. Part of the legend of Joe Jackson is that he was illiterate, and could not even sign his name. The fact was Jackson could sign his name, but was very reluctant to do so, and rarely signed except when absolutely necessary, usually on legal documents.
This did not stop autograph seekers from requesting Jackson's signature by mail, and when these occasional requests came in they were honored by Mrs. Jackson, who would sign Joe's name for him. Signature request signed by Joe's wife usually on index cards or alike sized pieces of paper sell for about $200.-$1,000.
The very few signatures that I found mostly appear on documents. A Joe Jackson Signed Recognizance Bond from the Barry Harper collection, sold for $44,062.50 A signed baseball will sell for a lot more.

What is the value increase of a signed baseball card vs regualer card?
Signed Baseball Cards vs Un-SignedA signature does not increase the collectible value of a baseball card. Once a card is signed the signature (not the card) becomes the collectible, and holds the bulk of the value. The baseball card is used to display the signature, and the value will be effected by how well the signature is displayed.In general, 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 of the card as a collectible. If the signature has a lower value than the card it will lower the value of the card. The un-signed card will have a higher value.This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive card signed. Signatures have a higher value on a baseball than on a card. Signed baseball cards sell at about 10-30 percent the value of a signed baseball. The percentage will vary based on the popularity and rarity of the signature.

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.
