Lou Gehrig ball on Ebay

I'm not sure how the Foxx ball dates to the 1920's. Bob Johnson's career didn't start until 1933. Assuming this was signed while they were teammates, it would date to 1933-1935.

I have seen a few Foxx signatures where he curved the end of the "e" in a downward fashion where there is some slight similarity with a "y", but this to me is clearly a "y".

No way I would touch this ball with a ten foot pole.

I guess this thread will just die but I hope it at least raises people's awareness to this. These autographs are just ridiculous but I guess he'll just keep laughing all the way to the bank... I still want to know, HOW AND WHY did these get COA's???
