At Restoration By Heart we have restored a signed Pittsburgh Steelers Superbowl football. The football itself was deflated and could not be reinflated, as well the leather was worn and the forty seven signatures had all but disappeared. We rebuilt the inside of the football and re-inflated it. Then we reconditioned and fixed the leather on the outside. Finally we enhanced all fortry seven signatures. The clients were thrilled and thought the football looked very close to new. We can be found at Restoration By Heart.com or reached at 866-635-8516.----Rod Hewitt

∙ 17y agoKeep your Autographs Away from sun light! Even reflected sun light will take its toll over time. Autographs on Baseballs signed in Ink, blue ball point pen being the best have proven to hold up better than Sharpie. Once the autograph has faded the best you can do is stop further damage by investing in a U/V protective display case. Try to find a Display case with 50% U/V protection. Don't try to restore the signatures yourself. You might cause further damage, and decrease the value more. Restoration of collectibles should be left to the professionals, and I have never heard of anyone restoring signatures on baseballs. The cost of restoring it would most likely be more than what the Baseball is worth.

∙ 9y agoFaded autographed signatures on a football cannot be restored. Writing over the existing signature is going to take away value from the football.

A Honus Wagner single signed baseball is worth between $5,000.-$6,000. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. The faded signature will lower the grade, and bring the value down accordingly. Most important, never retrace a faded signature. A faded signature will have a higher value than a signature that has been retraced. The retraced signature could be close to worthless.

What is the value of a Babe Ruth autographed baseball that has been traced over by an amateur?
Well the ball was signed by the real person, but then traced by an amateur, its not a reall signature. People do this to make a lot of them to be sold in stores. It is most important to never retrace a signature regardless if it is done by an amateur or a Professional. I have been asked this question many times. A baseball with light or faded signatures will be worth more than one that has been traced. The signatures could be worthless. This also holds true for cleaning an autographed baseball. Sharpie is not used for signing baseballs because of the porous properties of the baseball will absorb the ink and it will tend to bleed. The same thing will happen if you try to clean it. The stain might lighten, but will spread to a larger area of the ball. What ever you use to remove the stain will have no problem removing the signatures as well. If any liquid comes in contact with the signatures, your baseball will look like a wet piece of mail. For more information on signed baseballs visit the link I left below.
What is the value of a 1957 team ball with Henry Aaron's signature. The signatures are faded and the ball is dirty?
A 1957 Milwaukee Braves Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Schoendienst, Aaron, Mathews, Spahn, and Burdette is worth about $1,100-$1,800. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are faded on a dirty baseball it will bring the value down accordingly. Henry Aaron signed most baseballs "Hank" and if the baseball is signed Henry I would make sure the signatures are hand signed, and not stamped as with souvenir baseballs. If the signatures are hand signed then having the signatures authenticated will help in getting the most value. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. For more information on team signed baseballs, links to full team rosters, key signatures, and price guide see Related Links below. I will also leave links to stamped baseballs for you to compare.
