I think a lower number like 3,000-5,000 signed balls is more into reality and like Scott stated: many of those balls didn’t survive to today. Supply and demand.

He signed WAY more balls than that. There's photos of him signing hundreds of balls at one time. 1,000,000 is probably too high but 5,000 is not even close.
