    looks like a cool service if it works... but I'm not sure I would send them an expensive ball... maybe if I could go with it and watch the whole process, I wonder how much they are insured for?

    I'm not sure if trust is an issue for me, I just wouldn't do it.


    I'd keep all other sigs and personal notations just as they were.

    I guess it's just a matter of opinion but if I had a Babe Ruth ball with a bunch no name scribbles on it I would rather just have the Ruth.

    If you are doing it from a profit motive, to remove signatures to have a "single-signed" for resale, it is not terribly difficult to detect the alteration, and the ball will not be recognized as a true single-signed.

    If you are doing it for your own personal aesthetics and enjoyment, that is a different story.
    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.

    I believe I read that all it takes is a UV light to detect the removal. But, I would be willing to do it if I had any baseballs that would be worth doing that too.
    Looking to have some custom cuts or plain custom cards built? PM me.
