Jodi BirkholmI would have to disagree with Shelly's advice. Shrink wrap (even a high-tech UV, PVC-free type)can also have dire consequences. I would still recommend that you do nothing to the balls other than what you have been doing. There is NOTHING that can be done to eradicate/restore the time-induced fading of ink. Baseballs, bats and equipment are so inconsistent and temperamental insofar as signatures remaining bold over time is concerned. Collectors in these mediums have to take that fact as par for the course. If this bothers you too much (as it always has me), I would recommend that you choose a lower-maintenance form of signed sports collectible. Flat items are the best, the smaller the better.
