Ruth signed balls are very special. Anything he signed was special. it's a funny thing with Ruth. Aside from being one of the top players in history, he also was known for his willingness to stop and spend hours with people, and many times large groups of children. So yes, based on pre war standards, his signature is relatively common. But bescause of his legacy, and his kindness towards his fans, the some what large number of signed balls, has no affect what so ever, on price. He is the only player in history, where large quantitys, do not result in lower prices for his signed balls. Or any other signed item for that matter. But you couldn't be more wrong, they are so very special.
