How much money is the Babe Ruth baseball card worth?

Answer 1

Very candid, there are many photos of Babe Ruth. Today there are mass produced 8 x 10 photos that can be easily bought for about $10. All photos will have a value but It all depends on what type of photo you have. The value of your photo will rely on if it is an original first generation photo made from the original negative, a snap shot taken, a news service photo, or a wire photo printed off a teletype machine. All are highly collectible, and can sell between $20. -$200. in general.

The photo could also be from a magazine premium or a team released photo sent to fans.

Answer 2

A Babe Ruth single signed picture in general is worth about $3,000.-$4,000. value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The size, composition, and quality of the photograph signed and how well it displays the signature will effect the price. In a few recent auctions a signed 3 x 5 photo sold for $5,377.50. a large 17 x 21 fountain pen signed photo with inscription sold for $23,900. The average photo sold for about $3,000. - $4,000

The signature should be bold, strong, and stand out in contrast to the photo. A weak, and faded signature will sell for less. Most Autographs in Ruth's day was signed with a fountain pen. A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value.

If the signature is not properly authenticated the signed picture could sell at half the market value or less. For more information and a sample of a Babe Ruth signature visit the link I left below.
