What is the value of a ball signed by Babe Ruth that has a scratch on it?

Answer

Anywhere from $2,000 to $15,000 depending on condition

Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball

One of the most prized signatures in the hobby a Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The type of baseball will also effect the price with an Official American league baseball from Ruth's playing days being of the most value.

A baseball in poor condition with a weak signature could sell in the $4,000. price range or less, and a minty baseball with a strong signature could sell in the $15,000 price range or more. The "scratch" will effect the value of the baseball depending on where it is on the baseball, and how bad it is. If the scratch can be seen when the signature is displayed it would have less value.

A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" typifies his pre-1928 autograph and will sell at a higher value as well.

If the signature is not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. For more information and a sample of a Babe Ruth signature visit the the link I left below.
