I'm not sure what 1928 Baseball card you are asking about but once the card is signed it loses it's value as a collectible baseball card. It now becomes a "signed item" to display the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and the bulk of the value will rely on the signature. The card collector will not spend the money on the card. It will be appealing to the autograph collector but the autograph collector will not spend the extra money on the Collectible card.
Signed baseball cards typically sell at a bout 30-40 percent the price of a signed baseball or the price of a signed 8 x 10 photo. The price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is. A high valued card can add some value but not come close to it's un-signed value.
I have not found any closed auction with a signed baseball card but being compatible in value with a photo the value should be in the $3,000.-$4,000. price range in general with added value for the card. value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, and how well the baseball card displays the signature. Signatures that are not authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
In a few recent auctions a signed 3 x 5 photo sold for $5,377.50. a large 17 x 21 fountain pen signed photo with inscription sold for $23,900. The average photo sold for about $3,000. - $4,000

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. But with all said the strength of the authenticity that accompanies the signature will hold the bulk of the value.

What is the value of a Babe Ruth 1948 Sporting News picture mint 9 Graded by AAA Grading?
Original News Service photos or press photos of Babe Ruth sell in the $125. -$350. price range. Photo composition, if it was used in publication, and historic relevance of the photo will dictate the value.
When Babe Ruth died in August, 1948, The Sporting News published an eight-page obituary as a supplement to the regular issue. The cover featured the now famous picture taken on Babe Ruth day at Yankee Stadium, standing at the plate with the players along side the foul line. If this is photo you have, and it is an original, stamped "The Sporting News" on the reverse it will have significant value.
I am not aware of a photo premium issued by The Sporting News in 1948. If it is a premium it could have a value of about $200. - $300.
AAA Grading does not exist anymore, and an item graded or authenticated by them might not hold much weight. PSA/DNA does have such a service, and this will add value to the photo.
In an auction held in 2005 a 1920's photograph of Babe Ruth hitting an over-sized baseball, stamped The Sporting News on the reverse in excellent condition sold for $325.
The value of your baseball will be determined by the condition of the ball as well as the signature of the Bambino.
If the signature on the ball is an 8 to 9 as you estimate, and an authentication company such as JSA or PSADNA is able to grade both the ball and the signature (with the average grade favoring the signature), then your ball would be worth approximately 38,500 to 85,000. Again, this is for a very clean ball (graded 8 to 9), with a very legible signature (graded 8 to 9).
If the ball was used in a game and has obvious smudge marks, fingerprints, bat marks, broken stitching, etc., then the value will be much less. The best way to find out accurate ball and signature grading would be to submit your baseball to an authentication service. Currently, the average cost for authenticating and grading a Babe Ruth signature is about $200.00.
Don't be discouraged if you do have the ball graded and don't get the score you think the ball is worth. You still have a treasure that many would be very happy to own. Just for your information, a very rare, very clean ball with a Babe Ruth signature graded 9.5 was sold in 2005 for $150,000.00. This ball was unusually well-preserved.

The value of multi signed baseballs cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up.
Value is based on the selling prices of the signatures over a period of time. The value could go up or down depending on the number of collectors looking to buy that group of signatures at that time, and the number of signatures that are available in the market. Supply and demand.
The bulk of the value of your baseball will rely on the sweet spot signatures Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig, and the Jackie Robinson signature. If the Jackie Robinson signature can be viewed on the same side of the baseball as the Ruth and Gehrig signatures as its displayed it will have a higher value. The same will go for other key signatures as the Frankie Frisch, and Joe DiMaggio signatures.
The names of the players you mentioned did not play for just two teams, but at least three different teams. Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants (Frankie Frisch), and because Jackie Robinson did not begin his career until 1947, an All Star game is ruled out as well.
If the baseball was used in a game it could lower the value based on condition. A clean White baseball would be most preferred to display the signatures. If the baseball is soiled or shows game use it will lower the value of the signatures.
In general the Multi signed baseball with the Key signatures: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Frankie Frisch, and Joe DiMaggio could sell in the $10,000. - $20,000. price range. The price might vary based on condition, (especially the Ruth, Gehrig, and Robinson signatures) and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
