Simply naming the player pictured on the card is usually insufficient information for appraising a card's potential market value. Most players who have been "carded" appear on more than one card, so it's necessary to state the card manufacturer (Topps, Fleer, Donruss, Upper Deck, Bowman, Goudey, &c'), the year of the card (sometimes printed in the margin of the card, sometimes determined as the year after the last season's stats shown on the card), the card number if part of a numbered series, and especially the card's condition. Condition is paramount in assessing the potential value of more desirable cards, and unless one is a specialist in the card-collecting hobby, one will probably overrate the condition of a card. The faintest wrinkle or smudge, the slightest dent to an edge, or the mildest rounding to a corner will, in the eyes of an experienced collector, downgrade the condition of even a clean good-looking card. Value is dependent on a variety of details. Scarcity, demand, and condition is most important providing that the item is authentic. Value is based on what collectors are actually pay for an item, and most are based on selling prices of closed auctions.

A Nolan Ryan autographed Baseball card is worth between $75.-$120. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and will lower the value.

A collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. The autograph collectors main concern is displaying the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive baseball card signed. You could devalue the price of the card, and get less for it.

Once a collectible baseball card is signed the value of the card dramatically goes down as a collectible. The card then becomes an Item to display the signature. The bulk of the value relies on the value of the signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature.
