If you sell to a memorabilia dealer you will only get about half the market value, more or less depending on on how long the dealer thinks it will take to sell. The best place to sell the autograph would be an auction house that specializes in Sports Memorabilia, They will get you top exposure to targeted collectors. If your autograph is not authenticated you might want to look into having it done. Signatures that are not properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. The auction house will also help you with this process.

If it sells for more it would be because it was bought by a collector that desires the two signatures, but won't sell for much higher than the value of a Babe Ruth signed baseball. Ex-New York Yankee David Wells had Barry Bonds sign a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. This sent chills up the spines of hard core collectors noting that the ball will be devalued.

What is the value of a Spalding Official League ball autographed by Babe Ruth and Bob O'Farrell?

The value of a multi signed baseball cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up. A Babe Ruth signature is one of the most prized signatures in the hobby. A Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. If the signature is not properly authenticated the signed baseball could sell at half the market value or less. I could not find any auctions featuring a Babe Ruth Bob O'Farrell Dual signed baseball. It would most likely sell for less than a Babe Ruth single signed baseball at about $4,000.-$6,000.

How do you establish the year a baseball was signed with just 6 signatures that are Roy Hartzell Dizzy Dean Mel Ott Bill Terry Babe Ruth and Gabby Hartnett?

A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value. Babe Ruth passed away in 1948 but the other signatures could have been added years later. Most autographs in Ruth's day was signed with a fountain pen. If any of the signatures were signed with a ballpoint pen or Sharpie for example it would date the signature to a later date. Sharpie did not appear until the 1970's. It might be impossible to determine the year the baseball was signed, and might not effect the value either way. A Babe Ruth signature is one of the most prized signatures in the hobby.

A Babe Ruth (Key signature) Multi signed baseball could sell for less than a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. Multi signed baseballs often do. The other names you mentioned as gabby Hartnett are not to shabby but the additional signatures as a whole would have to be more desired than a baseball signed by Babe Ruth alone. It would most likely sell below the value of a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. The Dizzy Dean signature could recapture the value


What is the value of a souvenir baseball signed by Babe Ruth in 1926?

Baseballs featuring the genuine autograph of Babe Ruth are highly sought by collectors and potentially very valuable. Unfortunately, they are also very often forged. Presuming authenticity, values can range dramatically. Key factors are: the placement and clarity of Ruth's signature (the bigger and bolder, the better), the type of ball (is it an "Official American League" ball?), and the all-important overall condition of the ball and signature. The provenance; the who, what, when and where of a signed ball's history, may also add value if it's documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $1500 to as much as $7500, depending on all the aforementioned factors. An absolutely pristine signed Ruth ball could be worth $10,000-12,000. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.Babe Ruth Single Signed BaseballOne of the most prized signatures in the hobby a Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000.
