I'd agree with that-- common ball player signatures identities can be forgotten with time and are often hard to read. Except everyone would remember the baseball signed by Arnold Swarzenegger. That's like a baseball signed by Prince Charles or Madonna-- something the owner won't forget.

I'm sure there are bargain bins for unreadable signatures and other thowaways and, yes, it is theoretically possible that a Madonna or Terminator signed baseball could fall into the bid. But it seems unlikely.

If a story was a genuine Swarzenegger signed baseball was won at a show with a $1 raffle ticket, I could definitely see that happening.
