Here's a link to an article that was in SCD a few years ago saying the same thing. I'm not sure I buy in to that 100 percent. The real damage to baseballs in my opinion is the oils left on the ball from handling them. As for air flow, even treated leather deteriorates over time with air. Either way, I'm thinking baseballs although a great way to display an autograph, and not the greatest way to preserve an autograph no matter what you do (and we're not talking about in our lifetime, but over a couple of hundred years).
