Need a little help with a cool estate sale find
I picked this up at a local estate sale. Outside of the obvious (Johnson & Foxx) are any of the signatures on here rare or valued? Can anyone make out who signed above Walter Johnson on the sweet spot?

After some research it seems to be mostly a multi-year Senators ball with some extras. Johnson stopped playing in 1927 and Joe Cronin started with Washington in 1928, yet they're both present. And, of course, Jimmie Foxx never played for the Senators.

Okay, since it was an estate sale find I got to ask..How much?
Was it an auction or tag sale? Great score!

Unfortunately it was at a upscale auction house. They didn't know exactly what they had, but knew enough to put it in the display case. Enough knowledgeable buyers go there that a few knew it was a good ball, so I didn't get the steal of the year or anything.

Wasn't spouting any conspiracy theory, just pointing out something I thought was interesting from looking at the photos of the ball and I would think an auction house would research items better to extract the most dollars possible. I hope you make 10x your money, not hoping you anything but the best.

The original baseball shown also has a Buddy Myer on it.
Charles Solomon "Buddy" Myer (March 16, 1904 – October 31, 1974) was an American second baseman in Major League Baseball from 1925 to 1941. An excellent hitter, he batted .300 or better in eight full seasons, and retired with a career average of .303. He walked more than twice as many times as he struck out. Apart from a brief period with the Boston Red Sox in 1927–28, he spent his entire career with the Washington Senators.
