I’ve got an Atlanta Braves baseball. The top autograph is Mark Lemke. However, I can’t figure out with 100% clarity who the lower signature belongs too.i thought it might be Chuck Cary, but not sure. Can anyone help?

Did you buy this or was it a gift or a find?

I ask, because if the autographs mean something to you, you should try to trade or sell this for something signed in standard ball point ink.

Sadly, the thick sharpie marker's ink is going to keep spreading; soaking in and outward. I've seen cases where sharpie signatures like this can soak out to cover 1/2 the area of the panel, and since this is a multiple signed ball, more ink to soak in and outward that cover like a sponge.

Try to avoid buying, collecting, or having baseballs signed in this type of thick sharpie, and opt for the standard pen & ink instead.

Woody, assuming this ball has personal value to PKG and he wanted to keep it, could this sig be "locked" in place with a spray "varnish" (sort of like the old days) that contained no solvents for the Sharpie (if such a thing exists/alcohol & toluene free etc)? Or perhaps a water based clear acrylic with an airbrush?

I know very little about how the Sharpie ink formula reacts to different chemicals.

Theoretically, spraying something on there that seals the pores and forms a "shell" should arrest the spreading process, but I don't know how effective making the surface "air-tight" is going to be in slowing down or stopping the spread. I have no evidence through trial and error to go by as I've always avoided owning Sharpie, and other thick marker, signed baseballs.

It’s mine from when I was a kid. My mom gave me several boxes of my stuff to take back to my house and this was among the items. I remember getting it signed at a game, I just have no recollection of what year and who the bottom player was. :/
