How do you preserve signatures on a ball that are already fading or have already faded?
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. Most important 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.
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.
