Ken, I have a ball that was signed in 1972 by members of the Giants, then in 1973 by the Phillies, with two different pens. The Giant sigs look like the OP's Gordon, but the Phillies are crystal clear. The Giant sigs started getting that smudgy halo effect after a few years and it has never gotten worse. I always thought it was because of the pen.
See 'Elias Sosa' at top of ball (only pics I have at the moment).
