A Honus Wagner single signed Baseball is worth between $5,000.-$6,000.
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. Inscriptions such as "Pirates 1942" will sell for more. Personal Inscriptions like Good Luck Chuck" will sell for less. In a recent auction a Honus Wagner single signed baseball inscribed "Pirates 1942" sold for $6,572.50 Baseballs that were produced during the ballplayers playing days will be more desired. The dated inscription will add more value.

Should a pre-signed baseball card be signed authentically?
To have a pre-signed (facsimile signature) baseball card "hand signed" as opposed to a baseball card without a "pre signed" signature "hand signed" is not the question, rather should you have a baseball card signed at all? It is not always a good idea to have a baseball card signed. Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally a collector 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. Even if the baseball card has a low value today, if the price goes up in the future the value will be diminished by the signature. 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. If you feel that the card will have no future value then you will be doing no harm. Then if the card is "pre signed" or not will effect the value as how well the hand signed signature is displayed, If the "pre-signed" signature does not distract from the hand signed signature. The signature should be bold and standout in contrast to the printing on the baseball card. In general a signed baseball card is worth about 30% - 40% the price of a signed baseball or the same price of a signed 8 x 10 photo. A high valued baseball card might add some value to the signature, but the signature is the collectible not the card.
How much is a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball with Honus Wagner's autograph worth?
Honus Wagner Pittsburgh Pirates team signed baseballA Honus Wagner single signed baseball is worth between $5,000.-$6,000. But when you add a Pirates team to the baseball the value dramatically goes down. Wagner was a Pirates coach from 1933 - 1953 and depending on the team could range in value from $300.00 - $1,000.00 without the Honus Wagner signature. 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. To get a more accurate value you would have to state the year the team is from. A Pittsburgh Pirates team signed baseball from Wagner's playing days would so rare it would be difficult to give a value.
What is the value of an envelope signed by J Honus Wagner postmarked 1939?
A Honus Wagner Single Signed Baseball is worth about $4,000.-$5,000. Cut signatures about $400.-$500., and 3x5 index cards about $500.-$600. I would put the signed envelope postmarked 1939 in the index card category. The postmark might add some value or make it a little more desired than a index card. Prices will vary based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, and how well the item displays the signature. signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. In a recent auction held in October 2007 a Honus Wagner Cut 3x5 signature sold for $1,015.75 The signature was authenticated, and graded by PSA/DNA and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for protection. surprisingly the signature was signed in pencil but it is strong. The encapsulated authenticity put this signature at a high price, as well as the highly desirable "J. Honus Wagner" signature like the one you have. Another Honus Wagner Cut-Signature signed on a 3x4 inch piece of paper PSA DNA/GAI Authenticated sold for $573.60 Very strong ink signature. For more information visit my website linked below.
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.

What is the value of a circa 1949 postcard signed by Honus Wagner to Ginger Beaumont who was the first man up to bat in the first World Series?
A Honus Wagner Single Signed Baseball is worth about $4,000.-$5,000. Cut signatures about $400.-$500., and 3 x 5 index cards about $500.-$600. I would put a signed Postcard in the index card category but with the inscription "to Ginger Beaumont" there will be extra value.Personal inscriptions like "To John" normally degrade the value of a signature but in this case Ginger Beaumont being another ballplayer, and with the historic relevance, it will add value. If there is additional writing by Wagner to Ginger Beaumont it could be valued as a signed hand written letter by Wagner, and be valued as such. somewhere in the $3,000. price range. Without the extra writing $1,500. range, and again extra value might be added for the Ginger Beaumont inscription. If the postcard is postmarked 1949 and was mailed to Ginger Beaumont additional value could be added for this.Prices will vary based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, and how well the item displays the signature. signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.In a recent auction held in October 2007 a Honus Wagner Cut 3 x 5 signature sold for $1,015.75 The signature was authenticated, and graded by PSA/DNA and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for protection. surprisingly the signature was signed in pencil but it is strong.

Why the difference is price for signed vs autographed sports memorabilia?
Signed autographThere is no difference between signed memorabilia and autographed memorabilia. It is just deference in terminology. A signed baseball is the same as an autographed baseball and the same value. An autograph is signed. You could sign a check or a document but the signature would not be considered an autograph. You sign a baseball or a photo and the signature is an autograph.
