would a baseball card from the woman's league, signed by the player be worth anything? played for peaches.

Absolutely. It is very rare and an important part of history.

I imagine it would be worth a decent amount of money, but unfortunately Hank Aaron has signed an incredible amount of photos, cards, etc, so his John Hancock is easily obtainable.  The age of the photo will add to the value, but as you mentioned yourself, it's #22 out of 715, for that issue alone.  I would guess it's worth somewhere between $100 and $1,000 but you could always take it to be appraised.  \n     Ultimately though, a photo is only worth what people are willing to pay for it, so you might see if anyone else is selling Hank Aaron signed memorabilia on E-Bay, and see what it brings in.  \n     Also, if Barry Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's career HR record (which I pray every day that he won't, the cheater), that will drive the price down.\n     Hopefully this has been somewhat useful, sorry I couldn't give you a more specific dollar amount.

The price guides list the most valuable cards by price.  A card is "valued" by how good the player is doing, and more importantly, how rare the card is.\n\nA card is defined as rare by how many copies were printed.  Numbered cards (e.g. only 1 printed, or only 99 printed, etc.) are more valuable because of the law of supply (and demand).\n\nOther valuable aspects:  Is the card autographed?  Autographed cards (signed by the ballplayer and authentized by the company as a real signature) or more valued than a "relic" card.  A relic means it might be a game-worn glove, or a piece of the player's bat from an actual game.  Again -- the company stands behind its claim that the relic is from an actual game, and was actually used by the player.\n\nOn the baseball packs, the odds of pulling valuable card (also called an "insert") is listed.   So, the greater the odds, say, one pack in 1,200 packs, makes the card more rare than, say, one pack in 3 packs.\n\nOne last thing -- the condition you keep your card in, once you open the pack, makes it valuable.   Obviously, a card that has been placed in a protective sleeve, or in an archival safe folder, is far more valuable to someone who might buy it from you, then if you accidentally bent a corner of the card.\n\nNow -- to answer your 2nd question:  What is a good baseball card?   Aside from the things mentioned above, it is a personal thing.   If you collect players from a specific nation, or region of the world, it might of no special worth to most collectors.   But, for you, it makes your collection a personal thing of satisfaction.\n\nNever base your estimation of an item solely by someone else's opinion.   You should enjoy your hobby.   That way, you won't be disappointed if you "fail" to get that elusive "valuable" card.

Almost all baseball cards depreciate in value, that's why I got rid of my collection and moved on. It would be a terrible decision.

True, the newer releases of Mantle cards are not worthless. They are insert cards and usually have value over $1. It's probable that the 2006 release, like the 1996 release, commemorates the anniversary of the Mick's death, and so might be made in scarcer quantities to generate more interest. \n\nYour question is, however, quite ludicrous, I'm sorry to confess. "...From lets say 1951"? The 1952 Topps and 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle cards are perhaps <i>the</i> most sought-after baseball cards in the history of collecting. Try tens of thousands of dollars for one in excellent condition.

Well the card is classified damaged with his autograph on it so its only worth fair in pricing.But as for an autograph collection it could be any where in the 25 to 50 range.

I advise you t obuy a Baseball Beckett's to determine the value of your cards. Read up on how cards are rated condition wise, and then put them up for sale at Ebay.

i used to be big into collecting baseball cards, the 1988 topps set was produced in HUGE quantities which means even the star cards are worth only a small amount. i don't have a beckett price guide handy, but my educated guess would be around 35 cents.

It depends, do you like Joe Montana or not? If you like him and want his memorabilia then keep it. If you sell it it might not be worth that much because it is a card. On eBay you can probably find something like that for about $5, but if you sell it to a sports memoribilia shop owner he might give you about $25-$50.

Value according to Beckett is $1.50.

Sounds like a fake to me I don't think that Diamond was making and marking the baseballs back when Babe was alive.  Does the signature look like the candy wrapper in the store.

Check out Beckett's web site. They have listings for stuff like that. Or you could go to a card show in your area and have someone there take a look at it.

Scotty,\nIn this Sports Memorabilia thing you never no as it goes up and down constantly by whims and the team/players record that year.\nI have a friend who is a dealer and sells and buys at all the Big Shows on East Coast including New York. Her advice, only sell duplicates and not the most mint or uncirculated. Hold on for those 35 years. You never know.

You need the date off the card and then you can go to any sports memoribilia store and ask them to look it up, or go to a bookstore and look for a Baseball Card almanac which lists all the values.  The value will vary depending on the condition of the card and the demand when you want to sell it (If the card is worth $15, but people are only willing to offer you $10, the card is worth $10, no matter what the book says).\n\nThe year of the card would be the last year listed that he played plus 1.  If it has all his stats through 1955, then it is a 1956 year card.

how did your baseball get an nba stamp on it? anyway check your local sports memorabilia dealer and ask what he'd be willing to pay for it and then add about 20 % to it and thats likely what it would be worth out on the open market
