Safe way to remove "personalized"...
Got a couple football signed and personalized to me personally. This WAS how I collect autograph back in the days - personalized everything because I thought it was cool.
I want to remove my info before I give it away as a xmas gift. Is there a safe way to do it?
One is with silver marker while the other is with black sharpie.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Safe way to remove "personalized"...
I know goo-gone is great for removing autographs, as is WD-40. But it completely depends on what type of football it is too.

if it were me i would mark a different football and try out your options before you take a flying leap on your item that has value to you then use what works best

Bad idea! That is, to attempt to remove anything written from the ball after the fact.

Re: Safe way to remove "personalized"...
It would be the WORST idea if I just hand it over like a hand-me-down kind of gift - with my personalized writing on it.
I already spent way over my budget and not looking to spend any more. And the kid been talking about my "personalized" football as soon as he saw it. I dont want the parents to think that I am cheap. But on the other hand, a gift is a gift right? Even it is a hand me down?

I've tried Goo Gone and WD40 and they both stain the leather. That was on Silver ink. Never tried on a Sharpie black sig.

Re: Safe way to remove "personalized"...
I've heard of people using just plain old erasers to take off personalized messages on posters, not sure if it would work on a football but its worth a shot since it's not messy.
Always looking for anything John Flaherty, Drew Storen and Marcell Ozuna game used.

This stuff works great, and won't do any damage.
