What is the value of a 1951 Ernie's Bank autographed Topps card?

Answer 1

Ernie Banks autographed baseball card

Ernie Banks did not have a Baseball card issued in 1951. Ernie Banks rookie card, his first Topps card, was issued in 1954.

An Ernie Banks autographed baseball card is worth about $30.-$40. 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.

A signed Ernie Banks rookie Card will sell for more money but nowhere near the full value of the card un-signed.

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 collectible value of the card.

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.

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 signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature.
