Answer 1

To build on your above answer, what would the value be of a full page letter signed by Walter Johnson on his own personal letterhead and personalized return addressed envelope (with Germantown MD included underneath his name on both) dating 1940 with a 3 cent stamp and if PSA authenticated as I know it would pass. Letter was folded 3 ways to fit in envelope. Thanks in advance.

Signatures 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. A Walter Johnson autograph could range in price from a *cut Signature worth about $800. - $1,200. to a single signed baseball worth about $4,000.-$8,000. A signed Baseball card, a photo, or a signed ticket would fall somewhere in between. Once a collectible Item such as a ticket is signed it looses it's value as a collectible ticket, and becomes an item to display the signature. The bulk of the value now relies on the value of the signature, and how well it displays. Signed tickets typically sell in the same price range as an 8 x 10 photo. A highly valued ticket might sell for a little more.. A Walter Johnson signed ticket stub is worth about $1,500. - $2,500. A full Ticket will have added value. If the Walter Johnson signature is signed on the back it looses the value of being displayed on the front of the ticket, and would be valued more as a *"cut Signature" at about $800. - $1,200. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. *Cut Signatures often appear on small sheets of paper, and are often cut from an item that has been ruined to save its value from such items as a cover of a publication, photograph, letter or notebook on which it was originally signed. Cuts are commonly used by collectors to display with a framed photo, or for inserts by baseball card companies.
