A Nolan Ryan autographed baseball card is worth between $75.-$120. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and will lower the value.

A collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. The autograph collectors main concern is displaying the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive baseball card signed. You could devalue the price of the card, and get less for it.

Once a collectible baseball card is signed the value of the card dramatically goes down as a collectible. The card then becomes an Item to display the signature. The bulk of the value relies on the value of the signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature.

In general a signed baseball card is worth about 30% - 40% the price of a signed baseball or the same price of a signed 8 x 10 photo. A high valued card can add some value.

As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more. Common flaws would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. Un-scored programs will generally sell at a higher price than a scored program but sometimes it doesn't effect value. The over all condition, and how well the cover displays will.

The value on a "scored" program as opposed to a un-scored program can vary depending on the game, and collectors preference. In general I would say an un-scored program will sell at a higher price. Some collectors do not mind scored programs, or might prefer it scored. A game in note that might sell at a higher price "scored" would be Don Larsens perfect game in the World Series.

Because you are asking the value of a Signed "Broken bat" I'm going to take it that you have a "game used" bat, used and signed by Kelly Gruber. A broken store model bat to display a signature will have very little value. The bulk of the value will rely on The provenance or authenticity accompanying the "Game Used Bat.

With out any letters of authenticity as a game used bat, with the proper bat markings as a pro bat it will only sell as such. A Kelly Gruber "broken" pro model bat. As only a pro model bat it will still have a low collectors value because it is broken. A Kelly Gruber Signed "Broken" Game used bat would probably sell for about $75. -$125.,and less without a COA for both the Game used bat and signature.

Keep in mind that most "Game used" collectors would rather have the item unsigned, and autograph collectors are looking for a displayable signature
