Buying Baseballs
I heard official MLB game balls are the best to get signed but every time I'm in the US I check out stores like Dicks and the only game ball they have are in cases costing $19.99. I find it hard to believe that collectors will pay $20 for a blanks ball to send out.
What balls do you guys buy to send out and where do you buy them? Other than the official balls I can only find little league balls and cheap sponge balls.

I think the best you can do is like 10-12 bucks each wholesale online or if you know a warehouse store or something.
I have been buying them at target for 16.99 and they come in a cube, and since I display them in cubes anyway that's not a bad deal.

From what I read in 10 years you'll have a black or blue smudge on your ball- which is the issue with the cheap balls.
I could be wrong though.

A few years ago, I got a cheap ball from Walmart signed at an Indians game before I knew better...can barely tell there's signatures on it. Hopefully yours will hold up better.

If you can find an online store that sells the (now discontinued) Trump Signature Series baseballs, then stock up on those. They are great!

Ever since I picked up some cheap walmart balls and watched the sigs vanish in 6mo-2yrs that's exactly what I do.
