How much is a 1940s autograph book worth with over 120 baseball player autographs?

Answer 1

== == Each of the 120 signatures would have to be valued on it's own merit. Each signature will be valued as a "cut signature". Cut Signatures are often cut from an item that has been ruined to save its value from such items as a cover of a publication, photograph, letter or notebook on which it was originally signed. Cuts are commonly used by collectors to display with a framed photo, or for inserts by Baseball card companies.

If you sell the autograph book as a whole you would get less money, but more information would be needed to give a more accurate value.

Answer 2

The 1941 World Series Champs were the New York Yankees, and the value of the baseball would be determined by the condition of the "several signatures" that appear on the baseball, and the number of key signatures. A 1941 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: McCarthy, Rizzuto, Dickey, DiMaggio, Ruffing, and Gomez is worth about $900.-$1,500. 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. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable.

If the baseball is inscribed "1941 World Series Champs"and it interferes with the display of the key signatures it could lower the value. The better the key signatures display on the baseball (sweet spot) the more desired it will be. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
