PSA says when they authenticate an item that it is marked with an invisible ident.
Show pictures. Always best to have pictures.
But I would not crack. Review is offered for a reason. But lets be honest I don't have a clue how or why they assign a number grade to a signature. But if you are saying yours got a 9 and a similar got a 10.....good luck.

A 10 signed ball with a bic pen on a ball signed in the last 10-15 years will continue to fade and disappear over time. Enjoy your MINT ball without a signature, LOL

only balls from the 1980's and early 90's hold a bold pen signature.

I have balls signed in 2015, New Manfred balls. That have not faded... stored out of sunlight..

Have you had bad experience with Roml balls?

Very well may be with the new Manfred Mann balls. I honestly don't have any. I was referring to the Selig MLB balls. Seems like all of mine fade to dust after time, with or without sunlight.

The older NL & AL balls never seem to have that problem without sunlight and have very little impact in full/partial sunlight for mine.

Best not to grade with corrupt companies. Re-grading will likely do nothing, other than to put more money in PSA's pocket.
