Magic Wand of gayness might be the tool for the job, with the right settings.

I tried magic wand
but the ball is lots of different shades of yellow, is there a way of getting it to select all yellow?

When you select magic wand
on the top bar there's a numerical value between 1 and 100. I think it's called "tolerance". Play with that and you should get a result. the two backgrounds are far enough away from yellow for it to work.

magic wand
tolerance 100, click in yellow circle = perfect cut = several hours work reduced to several minutes. b3tans am the best!

Magic wand on the black above
Inverse
You can then use alt+lassoo to remove any bits selected you don't want

Select colour range works well
just keep adding to the range by holding shift down
