Ya the black ball is mine. I'd like to thank Brandon Belt for paying for it too lol. Last August we went to see Belt and he signed 27 cards for us. When the hype was up for spring training I was getting $30-$50 for the cards a pop and made the $250 for the Ichiro signing off of 7 cards. I've been graphing at Fenway since 1998 and have only seen Ichiro entering the park 2x in all of my years and one time had him one-on-one and he wouldn't do it. My step-son got him twice last spring training and he SP balls in black sharpie. For a guy who probably is the toughest major leaguer to get your item done, and where you want it signed, it was well worth the $. Because once he's done playing I doubt he's sticking around the States.

Yes, but I had a a black baseball signed in gold pain, and it just turned into an alcohol stain..

I agree mine turned silver then almost white with paint pen.
You guys must be using the wrong paint pens. I have black balls signed as far back as 5 years ago and all are perfect. The ones I had signed with the SRX gold (Bumgarner and Boggs) have already changed colors after 2 years.

Black balls are great, I can attest for AMF's black ball collection have seen ones he got 4-5 years ago and they still look as sick as the day they were signed.
