what is good to have a pitcher sign

bongo870 · Jun 19, 2014

I am a HUGE Carlton fan and yes he is coming around again this year. If i get the day off im on a road trip. Now. last year i had him sign a hat for me. This year i thought a bat But pitchers are not known for there batting. jerseys are cool but take up so much room.... I guess a ball or glove? What would you get autod?????

Get a bat where he can inscribe some of his key stats. A lot of room for that on a nice black bat signed in silver Sharpie.

I think it'd be funny to sign a bat, with "Career ___ Average, ___ HRs, ___ RBIs" inscription.

My first choice would be a ball on the sweet spot.

Ball, then a photo, either 8x10 11x14 or 16x20.

Thanks for the input guys. I am a huge 1980 world series Phillies collector and a bat with that inscription would be cool but i didnt think about a pitchers rubber. Here is the hat he signed last year:

I always get pitchers on a ball and then maybe a photo or a program...maybe even a rookie card. Never a bat. But to each their own. Plenty of room on a ball for inscriptions.

not a big fan of that anymore. I've picked up some baseballs with autos and they
are starting to fade so I've given up on adding signed balls to my collection and
only add balls if they are unique (like my 2007 Triple-A All-Star Game baseball
that I bought for the baseball and only after it came saw the Adam Jones
auto on it on the other panel but his auto is so faded you almost can't
see it).

You use a OMLB and use blue ball point, they don't fade. At least not in our lifetime...

A pitching rubber is cool, but to me nuthin beats a baseball.

A big K or a K board like they use or used in the old scoreboards

I'd go with a pineapple. Or a baseball.

Yeah, let's go with a baseball.

It's not like he's a pitcher or anything.

+1

If it's done the right way they don't fade/bleed.

Yep. My first auto like this was like 10 years ago and it still looks if it was signed today.

I've had great success with players signing cheap Chinese baseballs with crayon and then wrapping the ball in clear packing tape.

hmm, 2007 AAA All-Star Game baseball made by rawlings just like the officlal ball used in the game, Adam Jones auto in ball point pen, really faded. 2013 Dodgers logo'ed baseball (OTOMH I believe it was made by rawlings) with some dodger AFL prospect autos in ball point pen, starting to fade.

Unless rawlings super craps on the quality of minor league balls compared to OMLBs, I ain't buying everyone's statement about official balls and ball point and there will be no problems. I prefer a card or 8x10 photo since I"ve never had ink problems with those.

1) A check made out to me
2) A pitching runnber. They are not that expensive and are different/cool to display.
