Re: Would you have Albert sign it?
I have a Cal Ripken Jr. foul ball that I got him to sign, and like Tony said for whatever reason, it is almost completely faded away. It has been kept in a UV case, not in any light the whole time.
That said, it is a GU ball, I would probably get it signed. I dont know what other type of pen besides ball point would be good on a ball though. Definately use a blue ball point, not black.

Re: Would you have Albert sign it?
Without question have it signed. Imagine having a Game Used Baseball from a Yankees World Series signed by Babe Ruth. Far more valuable than a photo signed.
Also as another member suggested use a blue ball point pen. Not black.

Re: Would you have Albert sign it?
Agree Suave, Even a more recent example would be look at a game used ball from the World Series of 09 and then look at a game used world series ball signed by jeter. The price difference is the answer.

Re: Would you have Albert sign it?
Will he sign a game-used ball at the Warm Up? My understanding was he is only signing photos and new, unused baseballs, since game-used equipment falls under his contract with UDA. I could be wrong about that.

Re: Would you have Albert sign it?
I have a 1998 Jackie Robinson Commemorative game used baseball signed by Alex Rodriguez and its barely present any longer. I bought it like this. Is there a reason why a game used baseball will not hold up as good as say a baseball right out of the box? I have it totally out of the light since I bought and it does not seem to have deteriorated any further.
To answer you question. I would have him sign it on the sweet spot but if I display it I would have the WS logo facing the light. It would also depend on the cost of getting it signed.Regards,

Re: Would you have Albert sign it?
Usually if it is signed on a Game Used Ball it holds up a lot better than a ball out of the box. Possibly the reason for your ball is since it was used for a specific game maybe they used a poorer quality leather for those balls since they were just made for one game. Just a thought.
