What is the value of a 1954 Cleveland Indians team autographed baseball?

Answer 1

You left out the Item you had signed, and the only thing I can think of is that you have an Oakland A's vs Cleveland Indians program with Autographs. Regardless of the item signed the bulk of the value will rely on the players signatures that appear on the item. Here is a way of figuring out the value of your item.

Signatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature.Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.

The lowest priced signed item would be for a "cut Signature." A cut signature is a signature on a piece of paper, or "cut" from a larger piece. Index cards are the next step up, and both sell at a fraction (about 10%-20%) the price of an autographed baseball. Autograph photos typically sell at about 40-60 percent the price of a baseball with bats, uniform Jersey's and equipment selling at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item, rarity and display.

In general if an autographed baseball is worth $100. the same autograph on a 8 x 10 photo $50. a cut signature $20. on a bat $150. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is.

Find a baseball that has sold on line with similar signatures that you have, and by using the percentages above you should have a ballpark figure of the worth of your item. You can't add up each signature to come up with a value. Multi signed items typically sell for less that a single signed item of a noted player but you can use the value of the noted player (the most valued signature) and use it as a starting point most likely going down in value.

If you do have a signed program and the signatures appear on the cover you could value the signatures as a signed 8 x 10 Photo. if the signatures are on the inside then the program will retain some of it's collectible value and you can add the signatures to that price but as Cut signatures. Programs from 1968 are valued at about $15.-$25.

As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more.

Common flaws would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading, stains, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. Un-scored programs will generally sell at a higher price than a scored program but sometimes it doesn't effect value. The over all condition, and how well the cover displays will.

The value on a "scored" program as opposed to a un-scored program can vary depending on the game, and collectors preference. In general I would say an un-scored program will sell at a higher price. Some collectors do not mind scored programs, or might prefer it scored. A game in note that might sell at a higher price "scored" would be Don Larsens perfect game in the World Series.

The type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the cover of the scorecard.
