He can search Mastro, REA, Heritage auctions to see what cut Ruth and Gehrig signatures are worth. If sharp and clean, those would be worth at least a couple of thousand each. A Gehrig cut signature sold for about $3,000 in the last Mastro Auction.

If the signatures are cut out, the value is the sum of the cut signatures. It may be worth less as a whole, as the buyer would be buying the signatures 'in bulk.' The exception may be if it contains a tremendous assortment of Yankees players, as the Yankee specialist will want it. Ordinarily, a Carl Yastremski fan may only want the Yaz signature and the Pete Rose fan may not want a Red Sox player's sign, which is why a group lot will can for less than the singles sold separately. You can maximize your dollars by selling as singles, as you get top dollar. The Rose sig receives Rose fan price and the Yaz sig gets Yaz fan price. In your case, if they're all Yankees players, then the Yankee fan may want them all.
