How much is a Babe Ruth coin worth?
What do you mean Babe Ruth Ashtray? Any links to a photo? I own an ashtray/Striker lighter that has been argued that it could be the Babe or Honus. Copyright is 1913 but the item supposedly started selling around 1920. Looks like the babe but I don't know. Made by Louis V. Aronson.... aka The Art Metal works Co....Then RONSON Corp. How about a little more info on the Astray you seek the price of. Regards
Babe only hit one home-run in All Star game history. That ball has been lost for 70+ years (or at least hidden away somewhere), but lots of folks have talked about it over the last century. In 1933, it wasn't a really big deal, because nobody knew that this new "All Star" idea would become the mid-summer classic that it is! Of all the different pieces of Ruth memorabilia floating around out there, this would definitely be one of the most phenomenal! Especially if you actually have a ticket stub that would corroborate just where you were sitting during the game, as Ruth's ball is known to have flown over the right field fence into the lower deck at old Comiskey. If the ball actually has all that great provenance, this is going to be an amazing discovery. This Babe Ruth 1933 All Star Game home run baseball sold at auction in 2006 for $805,000. I do not know if the ball was signed by the Babe. Either way there is only one ball and that is the value. A 1933 All-Star game full Ticket played at Chicago's Comiskey Park is worth about $450. and about $225. -$275. for a Ticket stub. Condition is important. Rips, creases, and fading could bring the price down significantly. With ticket stubs if the stub was not torn cleanly it will effect the price as will if the stub was stapled to program (holes) which was a common practice. The article would add value to the ticket, and sold alone might only fetch about $5. The more complete the newspaper with the article the more valuable. As a complete package I'm sure the ticket stub, and article would be thrown in for $805,000. If you owned this baseball I guess you know the answer by now.

One of the most prized signatures in the hobby a Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000.

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.

Depending on the provenance, anywhere from $10K to 150K. It all comes back to provenance.
Babe Ruth 40 B.R. Louisville SluggerThe designation 40 is a secondary line of retail store model bats. Although there is evidence that Babe Ruth might have used one in a game, and I believe that was a 40 k (Kork Grip) bat, it is very unlikely that the bat you have is a game used bat. Without strong provenance showing the chain of custody linking it to Babe Ruth, and using the bat in a game it will sell as a store model bat.If the bat can be proven to be a "Game Used" Babe Ruth bat then the price stated above will hold true according to the strength of the provenance that accompanies the bat.
