Babe Ruth Signed Baseball CapSignatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature.Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed Baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.The lowest priced signed item would be for a "cut Signature." A cut signature is a signature on a piece of paper, or "cut" from a larger piece. Index cards are the next step up, and both sell at a fraction (about 10%-20%) the price of an autographed baseball. Autograph photos typically sell at about 40-60 percent the price of a baseball with bats, uniform Jersey's, HATS, and equipment selling at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item,rarity and display.
In general if an autographed baseball is worth $100. the same autograph on a 8 x 10 photo $50. a cut signature $20. on a bat or a hat $150. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is.
In the case of Babe Ruth, his signature is one of the most prized signatures in the hobby. Baseball Caps or hats were not as available to be signed. Babe Ruth signed a lot of baseballs and a signed "hat" by the babe would be far more rare. A signed "hat" by Babe Ruth could sell for much more money than the price of a signed baseball.
A Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. As with a signed hat the value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The quality and type of the hat, and how well it displays the signature will effect the price. A vintage baseball cap of either the Red Sox or Yankees would be most desired, and could sell at about $15, 000. or more.
The signature should be bold, strong, and stand out in contrast to the "hat". A weak, and faded signature will sell for less. Sharpie was not available in Ruth's day, and most signatures were signed with a fountain pen.
If the signature is not properly authenticated the signed picture could sell at half the market value or less. For more information and a sample of a Babe Ruth signature visit the link I left below.
