I'm getting it for a benefit auction & I highly doubt I'll be the buyer.

As I can't ask the buyer, I'm asking the community at large.

Which will hold its value better--the vintage, yet slightly discolored, ball or the fresh clean one?

The clean Browns with nice signatures seem to get decent money on eBay, but I can't find any examples of clean signatures on more discolored Browns  to compare with the clean signatures on clean Seligs.

I decided to just go with the Selig.

Collectors may overlook the toning due to the age of the Brown ball, but non-collectors will just see a dirty ball
