Here's another one of the toned balls I was talking about. This Whitey is coincidentally also a Bobby Brown. Maybe it is a defect in certain Brown balls:

White Ford

Also spotted this Shantz but I can't see the president stamp:

Bobby Shantz

Edited to add there's no Haiti mark on the Ford one.

Thanks. I have never seen such a thing, but I don't collect single-signed balls, so probably wouldn't notice most of them.

Horrible stuff - wouldn't own it.

What's annoying about the toning is there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason or even timeline of when it'll happen. I have a Cepeda ball that I sent to him through the mail. He signed it in black ink and it was beautiful. Now years later it has brown spots all over it and the ink is nearly faded away.

Will have to check the president stamp next time I'm at my parents house. I have a Koufax with some spotting too that I think is a Coleman.

It had to do with the Hati balls. Most of them had even toneing through out the ball in the last two years it bcame splotges very dark and ugly do to the water that was used.
