Don't give up just yet. Of the 100 or so baseballs I have, only 2 have faded completely (it was the ink used, not the storage/conditions), 3 have started to show some slight toning spots but sill look nice, and on 3 of them the ink has turned turquoise but look fine. All the rest are still snow white and look great. At least a third of the balls are at least 25 years old so I like my chances that they'll last awhile longer.
