Is there a difference in signability between the $3 Rawlings balls and the $19 ones? If I mailed one off, would it be less likely to get signed than the official MLB one? I had a signed rookie card for Luis Gonzalez. He drove in the winning run for the Diamondbacks in game 7 of the 2001 World Series. I heard about his used chewing gum going for insane prices afterwards, so I'm sure the card could've gotten some money, but it had personal value.

jeffersonlives posted:The quality of the leather is hugely different. The official ROMLBs sign much nicer and last much longer. You can get a case of 12 for in the $140-150 range online. Target usually has them cheapest of the brick and mortar stores, $15 or so. Yeah, after reading some more the durability of the official balls is cited as the best thing. Apparently signatures fade on the cheaper ones. The SCF address database thing you posted does mention a few guys signing baseballs with no problem, so I'd feel confident in sending one to, say, Mariano Rivera based on it. Not a bad idea to send letters ahead of time to other guys, though. Of course, since I live in Florida I should maybe just get off my rear end and go to a game.
