I'm certainly no expert on vinate baseballs or autos. It appears the concensus is that this is not authentic. That being said, I'd be interested in it as I'm sure others would as well. It still looks cool so I wouldn't put the value at worthless, but it's nowhere near what the OP is hoping.
I've been putting together a few things to decorate a study that will have a vintage baseball theme. I've got some nice framed Harper's Weekly Woodcuts and some vintage baseball gloves that my wife picked up at a yard sale. I'd love to get a vintage bat and ball to go in the room as well, but I know I can't afford an authentic Gehrig auto'd ball. This would be good for decoration w/o costing an arm and a leg. If the OP wants to sell it for a reasonable price as an unathentic auto'd ball, I might be interested.
