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. The type of baseball will also effect the price with an Official American league baseball from Ruth's playing days being of the most value.
A baseball in poor condition with a weak signature could sell in the $4,000. price range or less, and a minty baseball with a strong signature could sell in the $15,000 price range or more.
A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value as well. To show that the baseball was signed in 1945 the ball might have to be dated by the Babe. This will be considered an inscription, and sell for more.
If the signature is not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
