How to get Nolan Ryan's auto on a ball

Any suggestions? I have this ball, and the COA cert says that Ryan's sig is on it, but he must have missed this one because it's not on there.
Any suggestions on how I can get this ball signed by him?

    You can send it to him at his foundation for a signature.

    Thanks! Ok, next question. Do you think it would be worth spending the $55 to build more value in the ball? Not really interesting in getting the auto if it likely only increases the value $55 dollars!

    I do not think it will add $55 dollars of value to the ball.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    It probably won't add $55 to the ball but I'm not sure I would ever buy a 3,000 strikeout ball without the all-time leader in strikeouts present. Tough call. Good luck with whatever you decide! It's a cool ball either way but will be much cooler with Ryan's sig IMHO.

    To add the all-time strike-out leader on it? I think it's a no brainer

    Who is the COA from and how did they miss Nolan Ryan? That is why my faith in COAs are slipping. If the person will fake a signature, they will fake a COA as well.

    the autographs already on the ball are legit

    Yeah, all the guys signed these balls at an event. I just thing Ryan missed this one unfortunately. The COA's were probably drafted for all the balls and just copied. Oh well, it looks like I'll be sending the ball in! Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

    at events like that with multiple signers (3,000 K club, 500 HR club, etc) how do they decide who gets to sign the sweet spot on the ball?

    No one got the sweet spot on this one. A 3000 Strikeout Club logo got the honor.

    I would pay to have it done... not sure it would pay off in the long run, but it would be hard to sell the ball without it.

    Yeah, I am certainly going to send it in. Just for kicks, I figured I throw this image out there too. It's a poster I have that was signed at the same time the ball was... I need to get it re-matted
