Get the entire Camden Riversharks Team Autographs
Ever want to get an entire baseball team's autograph? Apparently the Camden Riversharks are willing to accommodate you.
This off their website (verified on a TV commercial I saw today)
"Do the players sign autographs?
40 minutes prior to every home game a couple of Riversharks players will be available to sign autographs in the Autograph Coral presented by New York LIfe located in front of the Team Store. Every Sunday the entire Riversharks team will line up in front of the home dugout between 12:00 and 12:20"
They are managed by former MLB all-star Von Hayes and have former Phillies player and member of the 08 world championship team Pedro Feliz, among several former major leaguers. Tickets are under 10 bucks I think.

I do AAA all the time (moreso in years past than this year)- international league. It's hit and miss. I got the entire Rays AAA (durham bulls) roster to sign last year. The Ironpigs and my hometown Scranton Yankees are allright (Jesus Montero can be tricky but I got him in like 3-4 tries).
The Louisville bats (Reds AAA) were not great. I got Juan Francisco though last year, though Aroldis Chapman bolted out a side door with 3 police escorts and made a little girl who went up to him first and ask for an autograph cry when he just brushed past her and literally pushed her out of the way with his body.
Anyways the point is that the high minors up north aren't all peaches and cream, so the Riversharks thing looks pretty cool.

You have to look around on minor league sites. It has been my experience that most all of them will have at least one autograph day where they will provide you a chance to get an autograph from the whole team. Some teams like the Tin Caps in Ft Wayne do it after every Sunday home game, right on the field! The All Star games are the real values in minor league baseball. I have went to two different AAA and an A level All Star game. All three events offered time for all the players to sign autographs. Should your local team host one of these games check it out! Last season I did a Low A All Star game and it was great! The players were nice and many have moved up their organization and I had seen one of them already on TV yesterday in the Bigs! Jerry Sands has advanced very quickly to the Dodgers. Guys like Mike Trout, Wil Myers and Jacob Turner are still top prospects on their way to the show. Just realize that you might not have cards for all the prospects and be prepared to have something else for them to sign. Even at the low A level some guys have started to refuse to sign index cards. One of the coolest things to get signed for me has always been my ticket stubs. Baseballs are expensive and to be honest I have wasted plenty of cash on baseballs for players that never made it or only had a cup of coffee at the highest level. Then again I have gotten baseballs that I would have never gotten should I have waited for them to advance to the majors. I would suggest not getting team logo things like the parents club hats or banners signed. I am a huge Reds fan and had bought penants for all their AAA players to sign one year. Many times the players do not make to that parent club or stay long once they do. How stupid does a Reds penant signed by Paul Konerko look? I have it! I also suggest not trying to get multiple players on an item unless you know you can complete the whole item. I know it would be harder to display a baseball with that player who made it big along with the scribbles of six or seven players who no one has ever heard of. Think how much nicer it is to have a team baseball to display or even the safest route a nice clean one player baseball. Some players do not sign the sweet spot even when asked then you have a delima. I for instance had Justin Upton side panel sign a baseball on me. It looked bad and I did not know what to do with it. I waited and eventually was able to have BJ Upton sign the sweet spot for me. Now that baseball finally looked good in my collection as I have a few different baseballs signed by family members. Have fun and enjoy the game with or without autographs!

The Riversharks are in the Atlantic League, the same league as the Long Island Ducks. The Ducks do the autograph session before each sunday game also. They also have the 1 player in the autograph booth before each game.

Don't remind me, he got promoted from Low A before I got him on anything, and he is my "home team" guy. I'm down to him and about a handful of guys for my team set from that year...
My mission is to get Zach Lee - he's been tearing it up but I heard he SP/personalize all baseballs now.

I sent a TTM to Von Hayes, I got nothing back yet though. But I've noticed he is a good TTM signer.
