As a kid I bought a nice-looking but cheap baseball to get the 1973 Reds to sign. One panel was beautiful and still is. The other started fading slowly until now it's just a blank panel, including a beautiful 'Johnny Bench'.
Sorry to bring more bad news. This is why I don't buy fading autographed balls, even when they look okay today.
