Ruth ball auto washed off by cleaning lady!..any suggestions?

My God! I'd be ripping some heads off.
Not because of the Ruth thing, but because of the sentimental value associated with his father. The Ruth part just makes it that much worse. WOW!

Please tell me that this is a late April fool's joke.

That Roaches team should be able to help

But seriously, is there a way to enhance a washed-out signature that works and is also considered acceptable restoration? I sold a Ted Williams autographed ball on eBay for only $50 this year because the ink had faded terribly since I got it back in 1985. Had it not been so faded, I wouldn't have parted with it. I always wondered if there was some kind of chemical or perhaps heat treatment that might have restored/darkened the old inks (100% of the signature was still visible - it was just very, very light).

This one is way beyond my comprehension. Why would a cleaning lady go out of her way to take a baseball out of its cube (holder) and scrub it down. Geez. Like I wrote, this is way beyond my comprehension.

Well done. That makes sense. I guess anything is possible. Too bizarre.

We could always have SteaknChop throw one of his authentic looking signatures on it.
