Default Cal Ripken Minor League auto'd ball

I was searching thru a collection recently purchased. Packed in the bottom of a box were two baseballs. One signature I cannot make out.

The second has a Cal Ripken signature with several other players.

The ball is stamped "KODAK" and from the other sigs it seems as though these signatures date from his time in the minors at Rochester.

Is there any premium to such an early signature ball.

I know little to nothing about ROMLB's and autos.

Does anyone recognize the signatures in the last two pictures?

It's driving me crazy

I know it sounds nuts, but I've been looking at signatures and HOF'ers and this is the closest I can come to...

anyone think this is a Ruth signature?

It came in a bulk collection containing the above Ripken baseball and a legit Jordan autograph.

There is a worn out stamp that appears to say Spalding and League Ball in the right places

I know zilch about the age and generation of baseball's and auto's
