Out of curiosity, how does the ink fade that badly?  The ball doesn't look incredibly old.  Direct sunlight?

Not sure about ink. Never in sunlight since I've owned it. Thank you for your reply

Might just be the ink type (which I know very little about, but many on this forum do).  You can still see the signature fairly well, but it looks like the color changed.  Just curious, cause I have a few sign balls (all signed within the past 10 years or so) and all of them look a bit different - a couple have bold, perfect sigs, while one or two look a bit lighter and might already be fading a bit.

Fluorescent lights can do it also
