What is the value of a 1956 Boston Red Sox Program?
The value of a Boston Red Sox program/Scorecard will be determined by what year the program is from. The price could range from $30.-$50. for a program from the 1940's-1950's or $15. -$25. for 1960's-1970's. 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, stains, 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. I will leave a link below for more information on scorecards, and publications.
What is the value of a Mickey Mantle autograph?
The Mickey Mantle stamp is one of a set of four that featured Baseball Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Roy Campanella, Hank Greenberg and Mel Ott on the 39-cent "Baseball Sluggers" postage stamps.

These are fairly common stamps.
Hank Aaron is still living. Given that the US does not issue stamps depicting living persons, there is no US issued stamp with Aaron on it. Some countries have issued stamps to capitalize on the sports collectors, most stamp collectors are not interested in such commercial items.
~*~Actually there IS a Hank Aaron Stamp. First day of issue was Dec. 21 1992. It was a $2 Hank Aaron, St. Vincent & the Grenadines postage stamp and then there was also a $10 23karat gold stamp released at the same time in '92 (depicting the April 16, 1964 Houston/Owens away game. I believe about 400 of those exist, only because I have one and it says "#343 of Four" hundred I assumed...or thousand? Anyways, although I don't know the value, I saw one (autographed) on eBay for $120. But that is for the golden stamp.

How much is an autographed baseball hat by John Smoltz worth?
A "smudged" signature will sell far below the market value of a signature in excellent -near/mint condition.
Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball.
The most important factor on the value of a signature providing that the signature is authentic is the condition of both the item signed, and the signature. The signature should be strong, and bold, as opposed to faded and hard to see.
Value will be determined by the condition (grade) of the signature, the sharpness, clarity, and how well the signature displays overall. Blue ballpoint pen would be most preferred over sharpie which tends to "bleed" or "smudge" on a baseball. The Ballpoint pen would render a sharp signature as opposed to a thick "sloppy" Sharpie signature.
What ever ink used, it will "smudge" if improperly handled before it is fully dry. Displaying the signature in a room with high humidity could moisten the ink and cause "smudgeing"
Once an autograph has faded or "Smudged" the best you can do is stop further damage by investing in a U/V protective display case. Try to find a Display case with 50% U/V protection. Keep it away from sun light, and chalk it up to experience. Most important never retrace a signature. I have been asked this question many times. A baseball with light or faded signatures will be worth more than one that has been traced. The signatures will be worthless. The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive handling.
