Mantle Ball - UDA vs PSA 9

[packs]

I have plenty, just none on hand for a photo. I highly doubt they're game used or practice used as they both have inscriptions and were likely signed at a show.

It's just something that happens. The UDA ball mentioned in the original post is also noted as toned. I would assume that was a brand new ball when signed.

I'm asking for examples that you have owned for the entire period, not ones that you bought that you are making assumptions about to support your thinking.

I could be totally wrong about this, but I would like to see some real examples from forum members. So far, I'm the only one who has any, and I have three pristine 40+ year old examples. One was a very cheap (but leather) ball I bought at a drugstore, another was a more expensive, but still cheap, ball that I bought at the drugstore, and the third is an official NL ball.

But you could be a lot younger than me, which makes my request unfair, unless you have 'younger' balls that have yellowed Anyone else?

What do you mean by real examples? The UDA ball is described as toned. Why would it have been anything other than a new ball when signed?

It is a common occurrence.

This topic has been discussed before. It is a common occurrence.

Okay, you win the discussion. If you just wanted to make a declaration and have everyone shut up and listen, you should have given us a hint.

As usual, you have ignored anything in the discussion that doesn't support your point of view. If you would have an open mind every now and then, you might learn something.

Bye.

What point of view? That baseballs get brown tone spots for natural reasons that might be a combination of factors? Is that so outrageous?

Holy crap. You really never give up until you are declared 'correct'. You did it with the Strasburg discussion and about every other discussion where anyone has had a point of view different from yours.

All I did was ask ANYONE to provide an example of a ball that they have had for a long time, that has yellowed for unknown reasons. Why did that piss you off so much?

Seriously, just discuss things every now and then without feeling like you have to 'win'. This is, after all, a discussion forum.
