Blue Sharpie for basically everything and silver elementz for everything else.
Use a binder.page per player with their number in the corner and cards/photos in photocorners. keep everything in my drawstring bag.

i use a fairly big one. it is big enough for my binder, sharpies, balls and 11x14s

I usually run with a large accordion folder...works well to hold photos, cards, pens/markers, and other various items. Cargo shorts to hold any baseballs I might have. Plus, the folder gives a sturdy surface for them to sign on.

I will say, though, that after talking to someone in Cleveland a few weeks back, I bought some photo corners this weekend to try out this coming weekend...curious to see how that works.

You going to the Blue Rocks vs Salem next week? I plan on going up once or twice.

Back to the question. I'm more of a ROMLB guy, so I usually take a couple to games with me and a blue ballpoint pen. I am starting to get more into autos, so I make take some 8x10 of players I know I can get (Minors). Not a binder and card guy, so I usually just keep things in a hoodie or hold them.

I use a spiraled artist sketchbook, photocorners on three corners of the card. I take a bag with me and have black and blue sharpies. I don't care about the color as long as I get the graph. I will sometimes throw in 8x10's and 5x7's of pictures my wife took. I always have a few baseballs in the bag as well for players who are worth it.

Photo corners are the way to go, it makes it easier for you and gives the player the opportunity to sign multiples if he chooses without having to wait for the person whos asking for the autograph to fiddle through their stuff. Two corners per card is plenty, it makes swapping the cards out much easier and is less damaging to the cards however cards that have jersey patches or are really thick dont usually work well. As for the images i get signed i only get images signed that are high quality. When getting photos 11x14 or bigger signed i used cardboard backing and clips to hold them on putting a smaller piece of cardboard between the clip and the photo to ensure i dont ruin my photo. A paint pen that i found to be really reliable is uni paint made by sanford. Blue sharpies always and if i have alot of stuff a book bag as well.
