I agree about the preprint as well, rendering that ball worth about as much as a dog's chew toy or a toss around ball for some kids. The good news is that it was not an authentic ball, which would have made the fading much harder to stomach!

As a young boy, I somehow got my hands on a 1960s Angels signed ball, before I came to understand and appreciate collectibles. I played with and ruined it. I only came to understand my mistake later in life, after the ball was long gone.
