Most collectors buy from photos . Good quality photos. After that it is the signature's idiosyncrasies that tell if it is good or not . I would bet that each collector would evaluate a Gehrig ball, or any autograph for that matter on the feel they get from the signature. In fact I would bet that each collector would have a different criteria or characteristics that they would use to evaluate the authenticity of any autograph. My criteria could be different from other collectors but we could each come up with the same result or discuss our ideas to arrive at a common decision. So your question is a little open for interpretation.
