As to value, the personalization hurts but still probably $5-7K or maybe more in the right auction with very interested collectors.
I always liked the personalized ones but the value is greatly affected.
I recently had one that was a circa 1930 Type III personalized and graded 9 that I sold for $6500 to a dealer.
I'm sure it will wind up in an auction at some time in the future but again it had a near perfect inscription and autograph.
However, the "Babe" was pictured in boxing gear, not a baseball uniform.

Great insight, I really appreciate all the thought you put into it for me!
