What is value of a baseball found at a storage auction supposedly used and signed by Babe Ruth?
The value of "Supposedly" used and signed by Babe Ruth is low if not worthless. The baseball will only have value if "it is" used and signed by Babe Ruth. The only way to remove the "Supposedly" is by having the signature properly authenticated. As far as being "used" only a high level letter of provenance tracing the ball back to the baseball actually being used by the Babe will confirm this. Without strong provenance the ball will always be "Supposedly used" and will have no value as such. There will be no way of proving that the baseball is "game used" or "used by Babe Ruth" so what you have is a Babe Ruth single signed baseball which does have high value. However if the baseball is not properly authenticated you could land up with half the market value or less. The value of a Babe Ruth single signed baseball could be worth anywhere from $4,000. -$10,000. and up Value will vary baseball on the condition of both the baseball and signature, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The signature should be strong, and bold, as opposed to faded and hard to see. If the baseball is "Supposedly" game used then the baseball should be an Official Major League baseball, and this will add some value as well, as opposed to a common store bought baseball.

What is the value of a Spalding Official League ball autographed by Babe Ruth and Bob O'Farrell?
The value of a multi signed baseball cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up.

Muti-signed baseballs that were passed around during the signing will sometimes have two signatures of the same player. I have never seen a baseball selling at a higher value because of this but then again I have never come across a baseball with two signatures of a player of Babe Ruth's stature. A team signed or multi signed baseball with two Babe Ruth signatures might sell at a higher price as a novelty. A baseball with two Babe Ruth signatures on the same baseball with no other signatures will sell at a significant higher price if both signatures could be viewed together when displayed. Otherwise the baseball will sell for more, but not twice the value. The baseball would have to be of the attention of collectors that find the duel signed Babe Ruth baseball intriguing, and have the money to spend on the novelty. The baseball might also be valued or compatible in price as a Babe Ruth signed, and inscribed baseball. Condition of the signatures will still be a factor, with each signature being graded on it's own merrit.
What is the value of a Hall of fame 1936 Babe Ruth baseball?
Copy I take it by "Hall of Fame 1936 Babe Ruth Baseball" you mean a Baseball signed by Babe Ruth when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936, or a "Hall of Fame Babe Ruth Baseball" issued recently as a collectible to commemorate Babe Ruth's Hall of Fame induction. Big Difference. If the baseball is a commemorate Babe Ruth's Hall of Fame baseball celebrating his induction into the Hall of Fame it would only be worth about $5.-$15. More of a novelty than a collectible. If the baseball is signed, and dated "1936" by Babe Ruth it will have higher value than a baseball signed by the Babe without the added inscription. Any inscription in reference to the Hall of Fame will add further value. 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.

How do you establish the year a baseball was signed with just 6 signatures that are Roy Hartzell Dizzy Dean Mel Ott Bill Terry Babe Ruth and Gabby Hartnett?
A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value. Babe Ruth passed away in 1948 but the other signatures could have been added years later. Most autographs in Ruth's day was signed with a fountain pen. If any of the signatures were signed with a ballpoint pen or Sharpie for example it would date the signature to a later date. Sharpie did not appear until the 1970's. It might be impossible to determine the year the baseball was signed, and might not effect the value either way. A Babe Ruth signature is 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.

A Babe Ruth (Key signature) Multi signed baseball could sell for less than a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. Multi signed baseballs often do.

It would most likely sell below the value of a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. The Dizzy Dean signature could recapture the value
