Possible and probable. Both Ruth and Cobb were prolific and very agreeable signers, and it would not be uncommon for a fan of the era to obtain the signatures of the Hall of Famers at a game or event. Baseballs featuring the genuine Autographs of Ruth and Cobb are highly sought by collectors. Unfortunately, they are also very often forged. Presuming authenticity, other key factors are: the placement and clarity of each signature, the type of ball (is it an "Official American League" ball), and the all-important condition of the ball and signatures. The provenance; the who, what, when and where of a signed ball's history, may also add value if it's documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $1500 to as much as $4000, depending on the aforementioned factors.
