soo if i wanna send a baseball, do i just put it in a box or bubble mailer and they will sign and send it back? its that simple?
There is always a little risk when sending a baseball unless you are absolutely certain a player will autograph it for you. But then again, that's the fun of TTM autograph collecting. Some like to send a request (with a SASE) first to see if it's OK to send something of value.
As for sending the ball, I send it in a box with the return adhesive label and adhesive postage inside. Then they autograph the ball, stick on the label, slap on the postage, and drop it in the mail. No trash, no confusion, easy.
Some collectors will send a particular pen as well. (There is a risk a player could autograph the ball in green Sharpie *laugh*).
