IP Autograph Seekers - Hints to doing it right

[19braves77]

Isn't it up to the player if he wants to sign my 50 items ? Its not am making it him do it and he isn't going to hurt my feelings if he just signs one of the 50. I'll get him again next time.

You're failing to see past your own greed.

Try to pull that off at an MLB stadium, it'd be very difficult, if not impossible over the dugout.

Got the 2 India guys on a baseball:

Rinku Singh
Dinesh Patel

Very nice auto from both of them. I was thanked later by ESPN for calling them over because they couldn't point them out. Tim Kurkjian is doing a segment on them.

Got a cracked bat from Njyer Morgan and a cracked bat from Luis Cruz.

Here are a few tips I have:

For signing baseballs: Use only OMLB, as other brands(even MiLB baseballs) will soak in the ink. Use Bic Blue Ball Point Pens for signing baseballs, they look the best and remain bold over time.

Use paint pens or sharpies for things like pictures/bats/mini-helmets etc.

And just have fun, it can be very addicting and very fun.

Sounds like someone earlier was referring to Tommy Gregg --- as someone who doesn't sign much.

nope not him.
