How do you graph?

[Mannywood3]

Just curious how do ya'll graph.Like how do you hold your cards index cards etc. Also what marker do you use for cards and what pens do you use.And what type of marker do you use for your helmets and bats. Also do you carry everything by hand or take a backpack. And lastly do you prefer to download all of your photos or take them yourself. If possible please take pictures I will upload some tommorow.

blue sharpie for cards and photos, silver SRX for helmets and bats,

I generally just have a folder that I can flip through rapidly and pull stuff out of. and then use the folder as something for the player to sign on as I hold it out to him.

People that use "photo corners" to mount photos and cards onto pages of a notebook seem to be well-organized, I've been meaning to try that for years.

Well what i use a blue sharpie but gonna buy a blue medium point staedtler for cards and photos.I recently bought a white deco paint marker that I will use on helmets and bats.And I use BIC crystal.I hold all my cards in a sketch book with photo corners

Put all my cards on pieces of cardboard using photo corners. Got some decent stuff, not the corrugated kind so it's thin and not bulky. Not sure where I got it, Hopefully it lasts the duration and all I have to do is change out the corners every so often.
Keep my index cards in my hoodie pouch. Usually wrapped in elastic unless I'm using them.


I use either blue sharpie or blue staedtler.

Extra sharpie always in my pocket and more in my bag if need be. Plenty of junky ones in case someone tries to ask to use mine, then I can just dump one on them.

blue sharpie for cards, I bring 3 or 4 with me.
gold deco and gold elementz marker for pucks

I carry everything in a backpack, my cards are in 50 ct boxes usually in alphabetical order, I put signed cards in another 50 ct box.

I've also thought of trying the "photo corner method", I know a few people who tape their cards (small piece on back) to a 9 pocket sheet in a binder and pull off the card and put it in the pocket once it is signed.

Photo corners are the best in my opinion. Just slide the card in and ready to go. Holds it in place so you can rub them down to prep as well, so ya don't have to hold it by hand. Only issue is ya have to bend the card a little, not enough to damage. But it can be tough to get thicker cards in these, you almost have to mold the corners around them or just hold the thicker cards if you don't want to risk damage.
I usually do 2 photo corners. One on opposite diagonal corners. I used to do 4 but that's excessive.

Blue sometimes black sharpie for cards. 90-95% of my autos are on cards. Occasionally I will get a ball or hat signed. I usually carry cards in an album in a small drawstring bag.

I have a composition notebook with photo corners. Can hold about 4 cards per page that way. Or 6 if you don't mind them fitting in super closely. I do 4 photo corners per card, but 2 will often work. And the notebook fits well into a messenger bag. Being hipster FTW.

I mostly do cards, photos second-most, and balls/pucks third. Rarely bothered with hats, helmets, jerseys, bats/sticks, whatever. Too bulky.

And I ALWAYS use blue Sharpie. Anytime I see someone with a black one, I want to slap them.

I have not perfected my technique yet but currently I carry a drawstring backpack with an acrylic case for my cards. I always carry at least one or two ROMLB's with me and an 8x10 of both teams logos for players I don't have cards for and lastly a few IC just because you never know. I carry blue sharpies (2-3) for photos and cards and a bic pen for the ROMLB's. I would like to do something different with the cards because having them all in a case I tend to fumble through them looking for a specific player.

I always use blue sharpie for my 8x10 unless the person is personalizing the photos then i will use black sharpie. Black seems to come right off and blue seems to smear the ink on the picture.
