PSA Q & A
Question:
From a grading standpoint, what is the difference between a purposeful signature removal on a baseball or a purposeful removal of an identifier?
Answer:
From a grading standpoint, there is no difference because the ball has been altered on purpose and we do not grade signed baseballs that show intentional removal or alterations. From an authentication standpoint and marketplace standpoint, the answer is different. A ball can still be considered single signed with evidence of an identifier (such as the date or event noted by someone other than the signor's hand) because it is not considered an additional signature. Once there is evidence of a second signature spotted on the ball, the ball can no longer be considered single signed -- which many collectors look for in the marketplace.
