Are Rawling OLB3 Practice Baseball Good For Autos?

[BlueJaysRock]

Are these balls similar to the ROMLB since it is also made by Rawling? If I do get non ROMLB it will be for average or below average players to sign such as crappy scrubs on the Jays.


is this a good price for them

From what Ive heard, these are the worst to get signed as the auto fades quickly.

I can't recommend against using them enough.

I got one signed last week by a half decent minor league player, just to save money and not buy a ROMLB. That being said, I wrapped it up and stored it very carefully to help avoid fading.

Plus, you can find ROMLB's in the U.S. at Target for $15 a piece

Any ball with synthetic = garbage. They will only let you down. I don't care what kind of pen you use, they will fade.

The trick is finding a ball with genuine leather. I have a variety of balls all with genuine leather and not one is faded.

Ditto, I've been saying that for years! If it's genuine leather and you use a nice "cheap" blue BIC (non-gel!), they last. If you use a synthetic, take a picture because in a year it's a gonerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Yea, I got a couple on them early on...regret it now. Got a few earlier this year...haven't seen the light of day and have been packed up since I got them. Pulled them out the other day and already starting to blur a bit.
