I give up on trying to keep autographed baseballs from being ruined.

[helf35]

These two balls were signed with the same pen about 20 seconds from each other, stored right next to each other and neither have been exposed to light since after they were signed. I do not get it! I have a closet full of guys that don't pan out and balls are flawless yet half of my Pujols collection bled on me. All my game used balls that are signed are fine. Why is it always the clean balls that go all turd on me? I have noticed balls I put in bags seem to do better then without but these were both stored the same in bags. Anyone out there that has had the opposite experience as me and found a way to keep all your balls from suffering this fate. I have a 3,000 square foot dehumidifier in the basement and a separate air conditioner in the summer that runs in my room where i keep everything. What else can I do?
