Keep your Autographs Away from a lot of Light, especially 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. I believe the porous cover of the Baseball absorbs the Sharpie over time. The same will happen on canvas art. I have seen a Mickey Mantle Autograph gradually disappear on a lithograph printed on canvas even though the litho was hung in a very dark, never seeing sun light area. 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. Best bet to prevent deterioration or fading of ink is simply storing and/or displaying away from direct sunlight, and in the case of a signed ball, the protection of a lucite or plastic case or "Ball Qube." One should also avoid handling the ball and always remember to pick the ball up by its laces. The oils in our fingers will eventually darken the hide.
