Recently on Antique Roadshow, Philip Weiss appraised a Maris/Ruth ball, even a adding Ripken to a few Gehrig items and how many Ty Cobb items (even balls) were signed by Pete Rose shortly after. No getting around it, it sounds like a cute idea, but only you think it's cute for a short time and eventually realize that what you did wasn't in fact a smart move.
I also wonder how many of these super star collectors who trust people to purchase for them eventually get duped by forgeries. Boomer has a team ball with a blazing Josh Gibson on there.
