ViviA Babe Ruth single signed baseball, the finest known Ruth-signed ball, graded 9.5 out of 10 by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) sold for $150,000 in 2005. Babe Ruth single signed baseballs in general sell for about $4,000.-$10,000. so this price is well above the market value.
In an Auction held on May 6, 2006 a Joe DiMaggio Marilyn Monroe dual signed baseball sold for $191,200. I believe this is the highest price ever paid for a signed baseball. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. Signatures on Official Major league baseballs used during the time of the player's career have more value. Joe Jackson is the rarest of signed baseballs but there has not been a recent Joe Jackson single signed baseball auctioned off in years. If one was to be auctioned off today it most would most likely sell for more than the Babe Ruth baseball listed above. For more information on Joe Jackson signatures see related question below.

A "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Single signed baseball has a "book Value" of about $25,000.-$40,000. Rarely found in auction this price could be well below the actual market value.
A Joe Jackson signature is perhaps the scarcest in all of sports. Part of the legend of Joe Jackson is that he was illiterate, and could not even sign his name. The fact was Jackson could sign his name, but was very reluctant to do so, and rarely signed except when absolutely necessary, usually on legal documents.
This did not stop autograph seekers from requesting Jackson's signature by mail, and when these occasional requests came in they were honored by Mrs. Jackson, who would sign Joe's name for him. Signature request signed by Joe's wife usually on index cards or alike sized pieces of paper sell for about $200.-$1,000.
The very few signatures that I found mostly appear on documents. A Joe Jackson Signed Recognizance Bond from the Barry Harper collection, sold for $44,062.50 A signed baseball will sell for a lot more.
