Cal Ripken Jr signed baseball cardA Cal Ripken Jr signed Baseball card is worth about $40.-$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 signature. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

A 1982 Topps Cal Ripken Jr rookie card number 21 has a book value of about $40.00 in near/mint -mint condition.The rookie card might add some value to the signature but, not much if any.

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. 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.

How much is an autograped Gaylord Perry rookie card worth?

A Gaylord Perry autographed baseball card is worth about $15. -$20. 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.Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature 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. 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. (see example below)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 value of the signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature. A high valued card such as a rookie card can add some value but, the signature is the centerpiece of the collectible, not the card. A 1962 Topps Gaylord Perry rookie card number 199 has a book value of about $80.00 in un-signed near/mint condition. Once the card is signed it cannot achieve a high grade of condition, and lowers the value of the card as a collectible. The bulk of the value now relies on the signature, and how well the rookie card displays it. The signed rookie card might sell for more money than a signed inexpensive card, ($15. -$20.) but for far less money than the rookie card in un-signed near/mint condition.

What is the value of an autographed Wayne Gretzky rookie card and the value of his counterfeit card of the same make signed by the great one?

Rookie card: 1979 Topps Wayne Gretzky Rookie (#18) PSA Graded MINT 9 is valued at a minimum of $425 unsigned. Signed, it speculatively would add no more than an additional $250 at current market prices. Based upon the frequency of items signed by Gretzky and the fact he is still alive, only means the value will not rise for some time, even on a card in perfect condition.


How much is an Alfonso Soriano autographed card worth?

AnswerFrom $150 to $250What card is it that you speak of? His rookie signed card might reach numbers like this though most of his signed cards do not get anywhere near this value.


You were told that Wayne Gretzky does not sighn his rookie cards is this correct?

First of all it doesn't actually matter...When you have a ROOKIE Card signed it defaces the mint value and drops the price of the card..then raises it for the signature value. For example if Gretky's rookie is worth 1000.00 mint but near mint is 200.00 then you would loose eight hundred dollars in value and then raise it b$50-100 dollars for the signature. So it is much smarter to get a second or third year card signed that has a much less value like $50 mint and 30 near mint because the card will be worth $130 signed.
