Hard to tell without a picture. Try ValueJockey.com it is free. you can post a picture there and get pricing help. Good Luck!!! The bulk of the value of your bat will rely on it's game use, your ability to prove that it was used during the 1968 pennant winning season, and not the autograph. An Al Kaline game used bat in general can sell in the $1,800 - $2,500. price range if accompanied by the proper paperwork and provenance. The absence of acceptable documentation linking the bat to Al Kaline will bring a much lower price and will have to be identified by using player Characteristics, and company shipping records . The quality of provenance accompanying the game used bat will dictate the bulk of the value. Provenance is the documentation of the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item. the provenance must come from a verifiable source. For example, a letter that comes from a source like a player, team executive, family member could have great impact while bats that originate from a particular collection or bats that come with letters from a spectator may not be given much, if any weight. Player Characteristics For example could be the way a player taped a bat, or applied pine tar. Characteristics so unique to those players that the presence of those characteristics dramatically improves the likelihood that these players used these exact bats. The bat must show some signs of game-use that are attributable to or known for that particular player With or without provenance the bat will have to be evaluated by a reputable authenticating service. The experts that evaluate the bat will have to rely solely on player Characteristics and the bat will achieve a lower grade bringing the value down. However under rare circumstances a game-used bat that possesses extraordinary player characteristics may achieve a higher grade than a bat that is accompanied by provenance, if the player usage characteristics are superior. The degree of game use could also effect the value of the bat. Game used bats do not receive grades like "Mint" or "Near Mint" based on sheer condition. Game-used bats need to show some sign of wear in order for the expert to render an opinion. It is also part of the appeal of collecting game-used bats. Most collectors of game used bats prefer bats that Show "great use" Most game used collectors prefer the item closest in condition that the item was in when the player used it. The signature might or might not add value to the game used bat. It would be desired by some but, not all.

An Al Kaline autographed baseball card is worth between $25. -$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.

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. In a recent auction (April 2009) an Al Kaline autographed 2001 Topps Archives baseball card sold for $43.78

Signatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature.Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.

The lowest priced signed item would be for a "cut Signature." A cut signature is a signature on a piece of paper, or "cut" from a larger piece. Index cards are the next step up, and both sell at a fraction (about 10%-20%) the price of an autographed baseball. Autograph photos typically sell at about 40-60 percent the price of a baseball with bats, uniform Jersey's and equipment selling at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item, rarity and display.

In general if an autographed baseball is worth $100. the same autograph on a 8x10 photo $50. a cut signature $20. on a bat $150. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is. An Al Kaline single signed baseball is worth between $50.-$75.

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. In a recent auction an Al Kaline single signed baseball sold for $54.00

An inexpensive card will benefit, but if the value grows in the future it will be held back by the growth of the value of the signature.

Al Kaline single signed baseballThe fact that the signature appears on a Detroit Tigers logo baseball could indicate that you have a souvenir stamped signature baseball.
