This might be a stupid question but I thought it was worth asking.

Back in 1996, I was able to get Mariano Rivera's autograph for free at a car dealership in central Jersey. This was way before he became the popular player he is today. Being 16 at the time, I had no prior experience with getting autographs so I ended up getting a personalized signed ball by him in Spanish. The unfortunate thing is that I got it signed in black ink. I know now to always do it in blue.

I look at the ball and you can see that it is starting to fade. Is there anyway to restore a faded autograph? I am assuming there isn't but it's worth to ask
