Do pen autographs like this typically fade over time or should this last and stay fairly sharp as it is now? I don't want to buy something that will fade or dissapear in 30-50 years. Even though I'm in college now, I'd like to hand things like this off to my future kids or the next generation so that others can preserve it and experience the legend of Satchel Paige.

Thanks!

It’s authentic

Pen signatures on matte paper don't really fade much as a rule.

How much does it affect value that the autograph was rewritten like that?

Double signed... double the auto, double the price!

As everyone thinks this is authentic... what year do you think it could be? Possibly signed in 1949 or 1950? The individual who requested the autograph says in their note, "Hope you will have another good year like last year." Satch's best years in the majors were 1948 and 1949, so if they are telling him to "have another" good season, it makes me believe it would be around that time. Also, I have an opportunuty to snag it for $100, is that a good deal? Thanks for all the responses!
