What is the value of an autographed Ozzie Smith baseball card?

Answer 1

The Baseball you have could be a 1982 or 1983 St. Louis Cardinals Team signed baseball. The only two years the players you listed played on the same Cardinals team. A 1982 St. Louis Cardinals Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Hernandez, Smith, and McGee is worth about $475.-$550. A 1983 St. Louis Cardinals Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Hernandez, Smith, and McGee is worth about $100.-$150.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. Visit the Team Signed Baseball Price Guide located below. (Related Links) The price guide features links to full team rosters to help you figure out what year the baseball is from. Searching for the players that played the least amount of time for the team will help you figure it out quicker. Once you have narrowed it down to one year the price guide also provides a list of key signatures for that year. These signatures are the most important on getting top value.

Answer 2

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. If the signature is not properly authenticated it could sell at half the market value or less. The signature should be bold, strong, and stand out in contrast to the photo. A weak, and faded signature will sell for less. Most Autographs in Ruth's day was signed with a fountain pen. A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value. A Babe Ruth (Key signature) Multi signed baseball could sell for less than a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. Multi signed baseballs often do. The other names you mentioned as gabby Hartnett are not to shabby but the additional signatures as a whole would have to be more desired than a baseball signed by Babe Ruth alone. It would most likely sell below the value of a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. The Dizzy Dean signature could recapture some of the value.

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally a collector 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. Even if the baseball card has a low value today, if the price goes up in the future the value will be diminished by the signature.
