Baseballs already signed with sharpie pins, is there any way to protect them?

I ended up with a baseball signed by former A's and Giants pitcher Vida Blue in blue sharpie. The auto was a few years old when I got it, and it's obvious that the auto is starting to defuse into the ball. Is there any way to preserve this signature, or is it going to inevitably turn into an ambiguous blue stain?

Spray it with clear spray paint. Will never bleed again. Ball will be a little shinier but will last forever. A lot of people do this in that situation.

+1. Not ideal, but I'm not sure what else you can do. Stay away from glossy finishes.

A flat clear Krylon spray will do the trick.

Sell it now and spend some extra $$ to upgrade to a ball point
