Mantle Ball - UDA vs PSA 9

[packs]

What do you mean by real examples? The UDA ball is described as toned. Why would it have been anything other than a new ball when signed?

It is a common occurrence.

This topic has been discussed before. It is a common occurrence.

Okay, you win the discussion. If you just wanted to make a declaration and have everyone shut up and listen, you should have given us a hint.

As usual, you have ignored anything in the discussion that doesn't support your point of view. If you would have an open mind every now and then, you might learn something.

Bye.

What point of view? That baseballs get brown tone spots for natural reasons that might be a combination of factors? Is that so outrageous?

Holy crap. You really never give up until you are declared 'correct'. You did it with the Strasburg discussion and about every other discussion where anyone has had a point of view different from yours.

All I did was ask ANYONE to provide an example of a ball that they have had for a long time, that has yellowed for unknown reasons. Why did that piss you off so much?

Seriously, just discuss things every now and then without feeling like you have to 'win'. This is, after all, a discussion forum.

I'm not pissed off. I shared my observation and then posted some links to examples of the kind of toning I've experienced.

Here's a Mantle UDA that was rarely handled if ever and only on the stitches. It has been in the bag in the box since purchased in the 90's... It still has some toning????

what is it you don't get that ALL 99% of the UDA Mantle & Ted Williams balls for that matter TONE like a bitch. No matter if they are displayed or not. There is something in the ionized water that was used or something like that? Some of them spot like a raccoon and some of them just brown and blotch.

The ball is an 8 and the signature is an 9, therefore it's a Fudd 8.5. Near Mint. Much more reliable than the scammers at PSA grading of a 9. LOL

Here's a Fudd 10 for reference with NO stupid sticker. 10 on the ball and 10 on the BOLD signature. MINT
