I will let the experts on the signatures opine on them but there is an awful lot of feathering on the signatures. It looks like someone sanded down the ball then added the signatures after.

The Ruth sig is not typical and the wear does not appear to be legitimate. If it were legit this would be a fantastic piece, unfortunately no good IMO.

The stitching does not appear to be consistent with a 1927 ball. It is, however, very difficult to be definitive working from a photograph.

Looks like a reproduction piece for sure. I have seen this one many times on Ebay in reproduction stuff.

That is a typical Ruth signature just not a real one.

It is. And "Babe" is just a tad too spaced out. No good. |

A toned ball with areas of fresh white that appear to be sanded. Never a good sign.

This ball is getting around.
It was offered to me privately a few days ago. It was "found" in a private home that just changed hands. . Yeah, I know that happens every day . I passed on it.

People often put autographed Babe Ruth balls in attics and forget all about them. Happens more often that you'd ever imagine. (Note: has to be the attic. No other room will suffice.)
