Hey Dean,
Thanks again for your insight, i appreciate it tremendously. you have been a great help. I see now what you mean about signed baseballs. a signed baseball looks amazing, but your right if its going to fade in 10-12 years why spend hundreds of dollars on them now. I love the look of signed perez steele cards. i cant prove it, but i swear that sharpie fades over time or at least my items just dont look the same years after getting them signed. however i know guys that have had cards signed in sharpie that look perfect 30+ years later! so i must just have really bad luck with fading baseballs a(signed in pen) and cards and photos signed in sharpie. sometimes even the actual photo started to fade(white ends of the photo appear) maybe the seller or original owner used cheap photo paper! LOL either way ive had bad luck with items long term fading. im actually starting to go the way of signed cut signatures like the upper deck sp legendary cuts as those are the only things that havent faded on me (most are signed in pen cuts and checks) but then again i love perez steele cards signed..its a confusing hobby! what to do, what to do!
