The golden rule is that if the card has value, an ink signature will take away from it (or render it neutral) and if it doesn't have value, the signature will add to it.
(Common) I.E Stan Musial. It won't necessarily help a rookie card's value, but it will turn that $1 card into a $15 card.
(Not Common, Not Rare) I.E Roger Maris. It will turn a $20 card into $400.
(Very Rare) I.E Babe Ruth. It will turn that $800 Goudey into $10,000 because it's unique and people want unique one of a kind items.
That's why the Crawford is such a find. The card itself is valued at about $100-150, but the fact that probably less than five of these exist in signed form (compared to index cards...sure, it's a $100-150 signature) makes it a true collectible on a highly collectible set.
If this was an E101 or M116, it would probably sell for 15-25% of the T206 signed price.
Hope this helps...
