Default 500 Home Run Hitters Ball Question

Hey guys. I know there is 0% chance this is real. My question is, has anyone ever seen one like this? Is it a mass produced store bought item or a poor attempt at forgeries? Are ANY of the sigs possibly real or all fakes?
Thanks for your time,
Tony

First suspicion is that it's all signed in the same hand.

The person who forged that baseball penned hundreds of those.

Ok, I think that pretty much confirms my suspicions. I never thought it was real, just wondering if it was mass produced.
Thanks guys, all info appreciated as always.
Tony

PS - just pitched it in the trash. Don't want it ever floating around out there!

Get some of those Mr Clean magic eraser pads. It'll take off the ink and you've got a perfectly good baseball you can use or give to a kid.

All the signatures on that ball are awful. The only thing that just passing a glance looks decent is the Reggie Jackson. Harmon Killebrew would be rolling in his grave at that poor penmanship. Frank Robinson is way too neat. Williams is too neat, same with Banks. Mays is sloppy, and Mantle is too pointy and slanted (I'm no expert on Mantle, but that is one of the worst Mantle examples). Mathews looks ok until you get to his last name then you really see it tail off especially on the "th". Aaron looks forced.
