davidcyclebackI like personalizations, even if they aren't "Dear David." Though I'd prefer a good handwritten letter over a signed ball any day.
As far as that web page goes, to me there's something not right about removing a Ford Frick or Bill Dickey or even a Mickey Vernon autograph from a ball. Putting aside market value debate, I thought you were supposed to be happy that Bill Dickey signed your baseball.
The hobby should be for collecting history, not for artificially creating it.
Luckly this type of restoration is simple to identify.
