2005 Opening Day Ball Usage?

I have a MLB certified baseball that is a 2005 Opening Day ball. However, when I look it up on the MLB database, it shows it was used during the first game of the second home series. I could provide photos, but it is not hard to imagine a slightly dirty ball. Would/could they have used an opening day ball that game?

    Took some photos...the paper non-coa, the holo is the coa, means it was bought from mlb.com.

    Sounds reasonable that they would use leftovers. Heck, I just learned they re-use pants. Joba had Clemens.

    I really should not answer this after that last post.....

    They are mostly for resale. I do like the signed GU balls however. The really good ones never stay around long.
