best place to buy Rawlings OMLB's

[mindbinge]

I guess the place I was getting mine from has closed

where is the best/cheapest place to buy these...need to get some for autographing this summer.

Normally I pick them up at local shows, but if I have to get them online....Anaconda Sports was the site I used.

Back in February I bought some from the link in this thread:

Looks like they have since gone up $25 on a dozen balls though.

found that when i did a search...they are up near ebay prices now...was hoping someone had a hook up lol.

I can get them at a decent price from the guy I buy from at shows, but shipping kills any deal.

I wish Rawlings still made the black-inked OMLBs. I could get a dozen of those for just under $5 each.

Depending on what you're going to get signed...there are the Trump baseballs. They're inexpensive. I've never tried them out, though....

 

[mindbinge]

yeah...i was paying about $6.50 each in the past...guess those days are gone

Mort,
the Trump balls fade or bleed after a while. The signature starts to blend in with leather. I believe the black inked Rawlings can be purchased through Anaconda.

That's where I used to buy them...but I am all but certain they are gone now.

Kinda Pricey, but still available.

Ah - no. Not black leather but black printing for the lettering. Anaconda sold them through mid 2009 or so. Only $5 or so each and made with the same exterior leather as regular OMLBs. Never had one bleed. Wish I could find them...!

 

[alan1000]

Whoops. My mistake. Those don't look much different from the standard ones at all. I bet if you located some the price has gone up much like other balls though.

 

[mindbinge]

thats what I was getting for $78 a doz...sports liquidators store here locally had them...went to get some the other day and they are out of business...sucks.

For the one's I have that do or did they only have gotten to a certain point and stopped. They aren't completely vanishing like on the cheap rawlings balls

 

[mindbinge]

anyone tried the cheapo leather looking balls yet with the Sharpie fine point pens? not the shiney slick china balls but the ones that are cheap and look/feel like leather but they are not really the same as the usual OMLB's we all use?
