I like your theory, but your math is WAY off
86,400 seconds in a day divided by 5 (your estimation) = 17,280 signatures a day x 365 would be over 6 million signatures a year.
PRICE CHECK on isle 5 please, I’ll buy any Ruth signature you wish to return sir.

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.
