Need some help asap

[BrianFlynn1]

I am just wondering if anybody can kindly explain how I can send a ROMLB to a baseball player. I want to know the exact ways to package and provide a SASE. Thank you.

Use 2 large bubble wrap envelopes. Put the ball and the other bubble wrap envelope (SASE) inside the first envelope.

Make sure you have the correct postage. Might want to include the sharpie with the ball.

Dont forget to be nice and keep you LOR short and sweet.

Good luck!

I would follow that except I use bic blue pen. Bic blue pens are what most people use, but it is totally up to you.

I've only been doing this since October, but here's my two cents. I kindly request the following of HOF'ers I approach:

1. Blue pen.
2. Sweet spot.
3. Hall of Fame inscription.

As for the envelopes, I use two. The first is a large one. The second is small/medium. Specifically, my SASE is small/medium with six stamps on it. Please click on my link below to see my recent successes. It will give you a sense of who is signing right now. I have been 100% successful thus far, except perhaps with Whitey Ford. Too soon to tell with him.

I agree with everything above, except the Sharpie thing. I ALWAYS send either blue or black Bic in envelope for balls. Sharpies fade over time or smudge. For postage, I use 7 forever stamps there and 7 on the sase. Always be polite etc. start with the for sure signers, Doerr Neshek Shantz Bunning etc to get comfortable with the process. Aim for the stars and you'll be disappointed most times. However some stars DO sign, Josh Hamilton being a good example. I'm waiting on balls from Koji Uehara, Josh Hamilton, and Bill Mueller now. I use 8 1/2" x 11" bubble mailers for the envelope there and the smaller, I think 6"x9" for the return envelope. Some guys will even answer questions if u include them on separate paper. My most recent successes are Jim Lonborg-a ball and questions, and Carl Erskine- ball and questions...good luck and welcome to the hobby. It's fun and addicting. Be patient, most don't come back in a week or two. Patience is key!

sharpie on a baseball is like completing the mona lisa with crayons.
