Consider this, from the Leigh Montville book, "The Big Bam";

"One night he stayed in his room at the hotel to read. A knock on the door. The Babe and Artie had someplace to go. Alas, the Babe had promised to sign 250 baseballs for some charity, but he now didn't have the time. Could Marshall sign them? He went to the babe's room and signed the Babe's name 250 times, leaving the balls on the bed. The Babe was grateful, especially because Hunt had become quite proficient at copying his name, but in the morning he had seconf thoughts. What kind of havoc could someone wreak if he were a good forger?"

I guess we now know the havoc. I'd have serious doubts with any Ruth signed balls.
