What is the value of a Honus Wagner Louisville Slugger bat with decal?

Depending on the Size, age, model, and condition a Honus Wagner Louisville Slugger Decal Bat from the 1905 -1916 era is worth about $1,000. -$5,000. Condition is not the only important with decal bats, it is everything. The decals are fairly common in beat up condition, and could sell as low as $75.-$100. I have seen a Honus Wagner Decal bat (Youth Model) in decent condition with 85% of the decal sell for $1,800. on eBay. They are rarely found in near mint condition, and a full size decal bat in this condition generally sell in excess of $5000. The age of the bat is important and I will leave a link below to assist you in dating the bat. If the center label reads JF Hillerich & Son Co. and TRADE MARK under the oval it dates the bat between 1897 - 1911. If it reads TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF below the label 1911 -1916. However the bat cannot be dated before 1905. In 1905 Honus Wagner, signed a contract with Hillerich & Bradsby co. and became the first player ever to endorse a bat. His autograph was also the first to be used on a bat and the first known professional athlete endorsement of a retail product. For more information on vintage baseball bats see Related Links below. I have also added a picture of the decal.

The "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner baseball card" most likely has a higher value because of it's past owner, and I would not include the value of this card with the rest of the T206 Honus Wagner cards on the market. Other T206 Honus Wagner cards have recently sold in the $200,000. -$400,000. price range. A 1914 Babe Ruth rookie baseball card, just the tenth card of its kind to be discovered sold at auction on May 5, 2008 for the price of $517,000. The card was produced by the Baltimore Sun Newspaper. In an auction held in 2007 the Babe Ruth Baltimore News card sold for $200,000. I would put the famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card alone at the top as the most valuable, and the 1914 Babe Ruth rookie baseball card second with the "other" T206 Honus Wagner cards a close third.

Why is the the Joe Jackson auto worth only 40000 if it is even rarer that the 1909 Honus Wagner card and the 1909 Honus Wagner card is worth 2 million dollars?

First thing. You are comparing the value of a signature (apples) with the value of a baseball card (Oranges). Two different collectible items, two different groups of collectors. The value of a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card is not $2 million dollars. This is the value of the "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" card which there is only one in existence making it more rare than a Joe Jackson signed baseball.A "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Single signed baseball has a "book Value" of about $25,000.-$40,000. But because they are so rare, it has been a long time since one has sold at auction. The book value is based on older auctions, and cannot be updated until another is sold at auction. In today's market if a Joe Jackson single signed baseball in excellent condition were to be sold at auction it would most likely sell at a record price much more than the current "Book Value"The 2.8 million dollar 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card was the card that belonged to Wayne Gretzky, and I am sure this is the reason why the price is inflated. When Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall bought the T206 Honus Wagner card in 1991 for $451,00 there were also less known example of the card. Other T206 Honus Wagner cards have recently sold in the $200,000. -$400,000. price range. This would be closer to the market value of this card. The famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card will have a higher value than all other T206 Wagner cards because of it's history, and should be valued as a separate item.With that said. If a Joe Jackson single signed baseball in excellent condition should sell at auction in today's market it just might compete in value with a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner card, but not the ""Gretzky card" which is more rare (only one) than a Joe Jackson signed baseball.See Related Questions below for more info on Joe Jackson Signatures.
