Thanks everyone for the responses. Lots of good info. I agree that if I had to buy a $25k machine to read them, I wouldn't want it. However, if a simple black or uv light will make some faint sigs identifiable, I'm good with that. I often look for those kind of balls because they are cheap, and I find the investigative part of it fun, because you never know what you might run across. Granted the value isn't there, but if I am not investing much, then I am good with it. With the cheap stuff, the fun is knowing the players held the ball to sign it, and that it might have been used in a game even. A simplistic view I know, but I find that fun collecting.
