How do you restore a faded Ted Williams signature on a baseball?
DickEsau
Restoration to any collectible should be left to the expert that has experience with that type of work, and to this day I have never heard of anyone that restores signatures on a Baseball.
Never retrace a signature. 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 will be worthless.
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. Keep it away from sun Light, and chalk it up to experience.
The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive handling.

Are Mickey Mantle baseballs signed in green ink worth more money?
No. The bulk of the value of the signature will be determined on condition, how well the baseball displays the signature, and how well the ink (color) stands out in contrast to the white baseball. The signature should be strong, and bold, as opposed to faded and hard to see. In the case of a baseball Blue ballpoint pen would be most preferred by collectors over sharpie which tends bleed on a baseball, and has proven to hold up better over time than other inks. The color ink would be a collectors preference on display, but there would be less collectors that would desire the green ink over the blue, and less demans, means less value. That is not to say that you cannot get full market value for the signature if it displays well. If the signature is not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
