If you have no authenticity papers or anything to prove it is a legitimate authentic item then it has no value except to you as you are the only one who knows if it is truly real.
If you have a LEGITIMATE authenticity paper with it it should be worth around $200-$400 depending on its condition and the degree to which the signatures have faded.

EzraAssuming it is from WGA ( the only true 100% authentic signed version) it is quite expensive , their are 2 releases of "The Hook" - "1972 photo taken of Wayne and his boyhood idol Gordie Howe" .WGA has recently released a newer version of this in the last few years it is 22x34 when framed and is on a canvas like material signed in gold by Wayne and Gordie it was released in a limited edition of 99 . It is listed at 2999.00 on Wayne's WGA site. If you look hard enough I have seen this go for less on Ebay . but never under 2000.00. There are 10 Artist Proof versions also put out of this release that will command a higher price than 2999.00. When WGA first started back in 2000 they released a limited edition version of 299 of " The Hook " it was 21x31 framed up and was signed by Wayne and Gordie in black sharpie. It has been sold out for many years and is much rarer to find for sale as they do not come up for sale very often. Since it rarely comes up for sale anywhere it is harder to put a price on but when it was first released by WGA 12 years ago it was priced at 1500.00 so I would say it would sell easily in the 2000 range. WGA also released 25 Artist Proof of this original release in 2000 that would command a higher price. Any signed photo of "The Hook" that does not come directly from WGA should be avoided , Wayne usually will not sign any reproduction of this photo so unless it is from WGA save your money. Hope this was helpful.
A Rogers Hornsby signed 8 x 10 photo is worth about $800.- $1,200. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature.
Photo composition, appeal, and how well the photo displays the signature will effect the value. The type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the photograph will also effect the price. Sharpie would be most preferred for a photo. Larger and more desired pictures could sell for more. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. In a recent auction a Rogers Hornsby signed 8 x 10 photo sold for $956.00
