Asked by Wiki User

Probably 90%. Most of them hate their own race and believe white people in general are superior to them. Black women are also increasingly marrying white men because they feel more secure with the decendents of their former slave owners.

Why is there a candy named after Babe Ruth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The generally accepted answer is that it was named for President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth. It was probably not, despite what people often suggest, named after Babe Ruth. ---- IN FACT:

1Although the name of the candy bar sounds nearly identical to the name of the famous baseball player Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company has traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland. Nonetheless, the bar first appeared in 1920, as Babe Ruth's fame was on the rise and long after Cleveland had left the White House and 16 years after his daughter had died. Moreover, the company had failed to negotiate an endorsement deal with Ruth, and many saw the company's story about the origin of the name of the bar as merely a way to avoid having to pay the baseball player any royalties. Ironically, Curtiss successfully shut down a rival bar that was approved by, and named for, Ruth, on the grounds that the names were too similar in the case of George H. Ruth Candy Co. v. Curtiss Candy Co, 49 F.2d 1033 (1931). 1Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia, Baby Ruth, 2008 retrieved from http://www.wikipedia.com August 2008.

What is the value of Maury Wills signed baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Maury Wills single signed baseball is worth about $35.-$45.

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. Add for inscriptions. Collectors will pay more for inscriptions such as "HOF" and pay less for personalized inscriptions like "Good Luck Chuck" In a recent auction a Maury Wills single signed baseball sold at a high of $42.00. For more prices on single signed baseball see Related Links below.

What is the value of a 1935 edition of Babe Ruth's Big Book of Baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

it depends on the condition, but from all accounts if you are hoping it's a million then take a breath because it isn't. Near mint issues of this are going for about $200, but average value are going for about $65 to $80 bucks. I have one myself and it is way to cool a book to part with for this amount of money. Good luck with it.

What is the value of a football autographed by Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke and the entire Packer team that played that season?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Footballs featuring the genuine autographs of the 60's-era Packers are highly sought by collectors. Presuming authenticity, values can range dramatically. Key factors are: the placement, size and clarity of the the star players' signatures (the bigger and bolder, the better), the type of ball (is it an "Official NFL" ball?), and the all-important overall condition of the ball and signatures. "Provenance" - the who, what, when and where of a signed ball's history, may also add value if documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $500 to as much as $750, depending on all the aforementioned factors. An absolutely pristine official ball with Lombardi would be worth as much as as $1000. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.

Just an FYI, a couple weeks ago in a New York auction, a '62, '63, and '65 Packer team signed balls went over $2500 a piece. The '65 went highest at $2980. This ball will fetch much more considering it is the first year for the superbowl, in which Green Bay defeated Kansas City. Other than Lombardi, you have 9 other HOFer's on it. Once authenticated, this ball will be the needle in a haystack. Anything less than $10k would be crazy.

How much is a ticket stub worth from the 1974 game when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ticket stub from the game that Hank Aaron hit home run number 714 at Cincinnati on April 4, 1974 is worth about $145.

The ticket stub from the game that Hank Aaron hit home run number 715 in Atlanta on April 8, 1974 is worth about $300

Condition is important. Rips, crease, and fading could bring the price down significantly. With ticket stubs if the stub was not torn cleanly it will effect the price as well.

What is the value of a green Babe Ruth baseball card that reads All Time Greats 1914 - 1935 holding three bats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This card you are describing sound like a card from the 1987 Hygrade All-Time Greats set. The set features 100 cards. The Babe Ruth card is number 38, and books for about $2.00 The complete set sells for about $10. -$20.

Other cards from the set include all time great such as Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Roberto clement and more.

As with all collectibles condition is important. The slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly.This set came in a "playing cards" sized box, and sold for about $5. when released during the baseball card boom of the late 1980s.

How much is a autographed Bart Starr card worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think you may have included a bad year (1982). He was a member of the Packers from 1956-1971. If it truly is a 1982 ball, he may have signed it at "Bart Starr" day, but if it's not an actual game ball from his era, the value will be lower. Bart Starr was the coach that year.

What is the value of an autographed picture of Don Drysdale?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Don Drysdale signed photo is worth between $75.-$150. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Photo composition, and appealwill effect the price as well. Part of the value will be determined by how well the photo displays the signature. The type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the photograph will also effect the price. Sharpie would be most preferred for a photo. Larger and more desired pictures could sell for more. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the photo could sell at half the market value or less.

Which is worth more a Babe Ruth rookie card or Honus Wagner baseball card?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card sold for $2.8 million in September of 2007. This was the highest price paid for the card. Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall bought the T206 Honus Wagner card in 1991 for $451,000., and sold it for $500,000. in 1995. At the time there were fewer known examples of the card. 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.

What is the value of a Babe Ruth model bat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In general a Babe Ruth store model bat could be worth between $200. -$500. Besides condition there are many factors that will effect the price more or less. Baseball bats closest to the players size and model number that was used during his playing days will sell at a higher price. Decal bats are very desirable and could sell in the $1,000.'s

The dating of the bat is one of the most important factors on value along with condition. Hillerich & Bradsby Co. Louisville Slugger has used different oval center brands in their history. By identifying the center label, trade marks, and patens you can narrow down the year to what era the bat was made.

For example: a bat made between 1916 - 1929 will have HILLERERICH & BRADSBY Co in the center label as opposed to J.F. HILLERERICH & SON Co as the bats made before. TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF appears below the oval and changed to TRADE MARK REG in 1930.

"Bone Rubbed" is a process to harden the surface of the bat and appears on bats made in the 1920s The "Powerized"process was first used, and patented by the Hillerich & Bradsby Co. in 1931 and has pat. pending beneath the stamp. Powerized and Bone Rubbed" logo is used during the 1932 season. In 1933 and 1934 you will see it stamped "Powerized and Oil Tempered" which usually is a very light heat foil type print. in 1935 until present, they go with just "Powerized"

During the 1980's Louisville Slugger issued these replicas of Babe Ruth's last style bat, and stamped 1935 on the knob. The majority of these were sold through a mail order company called J. Petterman and listed at around $100. Yes. The same J. Petterman catalogue featured on the television comedy series Seinfeld. These replica bats sell for about $55.-$125, on eBay.

Where would you find the value of a photo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in Yankee uniforms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many photos of Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig like you describe. Today there are mass produced 8 x 10 photos that can be easily bought for about $10. All photos will have a value but It all depends on what type of photo you have. The value of your photo will rely on if it is an original first generation photo made from the original negative, a snap shot taken, a news service photo, or a wire photo printed off a teletype machine. All are highly collectible, and can sell between $20. -$200. in general.

The photo could also be from a magazine premium or a team released photo sent to fans.
