A few questions

[loki1230]

I'm very new to the whole autograph hobby so I just have a few questions I hope someone could answer for me.

First and foremost, where do people get their 8x10's? For those who print their own, where do you get the pictures to print them? Do you keep them all in a binder (I've seen this with both photos and cards) when you're trying to get some autographs?

Secondly, has anyone ever been the CSA shows? What are they like, what are your experiences and do you have to purchase items to be signed at the show or can you bring your own balls, photos, etc.?

Any other tips and stuff would also be great. Thanks!

Many people find their pics on sites like google, NFL pics etc.
and they use adoramapix.com for $1.50 per 8x10 and its mailed right to your door

hope this helps!

Big thanks for the answers guys!

Also, besides the photos, what do you guys bring your balls and other items in? A backpack? Is there a cheap place to buy ROMLB balls or is everywhere pretty much the same?

Thanks!

It probaly seems dorky, but I've got one of those messenger bags for my stuff. Holds a binder for each team, pens/markers, and a couple baseballs. ROMLBs are cheaper if you buy them in bulk. Like, some graphers I know buy a couple dozen of them and split the costs, and it ends up being cheaper because they bought in bulk.

Go for a messenger bag or one of those drawstring backpacks. I mostly do cards and 8x10 photos on boards and those bags hold everything nicely.

I don't know if I can bring myself to use one of those messenger bags, but those drawstring backpacks shouldn't be a problem. Seems the clipboard is the popular choice, so I guess I'll have to invest in one of those lol. To this point, I've only ever noticed kids having the player sign photos on the face of their binder. I guess the best bet would be to study what other people and learn the ways I prefer to do it from there.

Thanks guys!
