Babe Ruth Baseball
I have a signed babe ruth baseball but i don't want it how much should i sell it for?
it is signed by babe ruth but i need some money so how much is it worth?
The first thing you should do is have the baseball certified. There a few certification companies that are legitimate to have autographs certified through. The two major certification companies are James Spence and PSA. Both were started by experienced autograph experts and sports historians. You'll pay a fee and several people exam the item. You supply them with the item as well as any information you have on the history of the item and where and when it was signed. They analyze thousands and thousands of autographs and were intrigal in working with the FBI catching forgers a few years back, information about that is in a book call Operation Bullpen. The cost to have the baseball appraised is approximately 150-175 dollars. After the baseball is anaylzed, if the ball is rejected as authentic, they will provide you will a rejection letter and may have information on why the ball did not get a letter of authenticity (famous forger signed the ball, ghostsigner secreterial, etc). If a ball is found genuine, they will either affix a sticker to the item with a serial number that you can look up on their website which will have all the information about the ball. You can choose to have the sticker affixed to the baseball or to the certification letter you are given. The letter includes a photo of the ball that was evaluated and the quality of the autographed on the ball. An item authenticated will bring the highest sale value. The higher the rating the autograph is, will bring a higher sale value. A bottom on a babe baseball is 700-1500 with the high end could be up to 100,000, depending on the autograph and what he autographed ( i.e, he signed a Home Run Baseball)
After you have the item certified, your two best choices are sell it yourself or have a reputable auction house sell it for you. The benefit of an auction house is they have a client base of buyers generated over the years that will bring you a higher sales value. You need to research the auctions houses, an auction houses that specializes in sports memorbilia is a will have clients looking for your type of item, babe ruth items are highly sought out. I recommend a newspaper weekly magizine Sports Collector Digest which is the number one location for vendors to sell memorbilia and where major sports auction houses adverise upcoming auctions. Its only 49.95 a year, but you can go to a card store and buy one issue, they also have coupons for shorter memberships.
You can also sell on your own, whether to a dealer, or on ebay, but ebay is tricky because there are alot of serious buyers that stay away because of all the fakes sold on ebay, and generally items sell for less, but not always, however your ebay score has a lot to do with peoples perception of a seller, so if you set up an ebay account without sales history could deter would be buyers.
The most important thing is have your item certified by one of those companies. Another is GAI, but those two are the major accepted certification companies in the industry, the one the FBI, Halls of Fame, Hall of Famers and major auction houses use to sell authentic product.
