Yeah, at some point when signatures are this faded, it starts to just become an old baseball.
It got me thinking: Do you think it may be better, when a ball or something else is this faded, to have it professionally restored/enhanced?
Maybe it could be authenticated first, then enhanced with full disclosure. I hate any altered signatures, but in cases like this I would think putting more ink on it would be the only way to save it in the long term. Just a bit more age or light exposure on an item like this and there will be absolutely nothing left.
I think if I owned the ball I would want to restore it so that it wouldn't die a slow death and fade into oblivion.....thoughts?
