Default Ty Cobb full signature ball opinion

A local auctioneer auctioned off the "remainder" of Ernie Harwell's estate, with his son and Denny McLain in attendence. This ball, was included, although I doubt it was from Ernie's personal estate. Usually these auctions are filled with Frangiapani junk, but this ball brought in over $12K-Wondering your thoughts, looks too good to be true.

Hear is a listing of all the items, the Mantle is a joke

To me the Ruth didn't look good, no thoughts on Cobb.

Did the ball really sell for 12K ??? Even if it were real that would still seem HIGH to me for a Cobb ball.
Its not difficult to find a person with less than average intelligence and its not difficult to find someone with 12K but to find BOTH in the same package ? thats a marvel

These items were not the remainder of Ernie Harwell estate, they were items his family did not want or need. Most of his collection resides in the Detroit Museum on Woodward Avenue. Denny McLain also had items in the auction.

If you have been to the Ernie Harwell room at the Detroit Library, you would see that Mr. Harwell was not much of an autograph collector. I think the highlighted item was an Ichiro signed glove.
