I have a Miguel Cabrera ball game used for a hit that he signed and inscribed the hit#. It displays great and tells it's own story.
JD Martinez is not Damien Easley ( but even that ball I would get signed) he is one of less than a handful of hitters that is capable of winning battings triple crown. And for now looks to have a bright future so the ball might have some significance down the road. I give a hearty thumbs up for getting it signed. And I would go to signing with the 7 year old who would remember it for the rest of his life. Just my preference..

He's keeping the ball so getting it signed is ok.
A lot of collectors prefer unsigned game used (myself included) so if someone plans to sell, its best to keep it unsigned, why eliminate a bunch of potential buyers?
