Mantle Ball - UDA vs PSA 9

[packs]

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

another Fudd 9 for reference. 10 for the signature & 8 for the ball. Ball would be a 9 if not for the toning spots on the back

Those are NICE looking balls. Frankly, I don't see any toning on that first ball. Snow white in the pics. Which would you rather have, a uda toned ball or psa mint ball? (I'm talking about a ball with slightly more toning than yours.)
