Yeah thats true, but you may be able to age them yourself. Or maybe even ask them to dirty the lace material before stitching. I did it because I wanted the ball inflated for display. It was always flat when I saw it in the attic. I'll try and get a pic of it today as I am going to my brothers. There is some cracking to it because the whole ball was originally painted.
