Graphing a team! HELP needed!

[randomdonkey]

I am 15 years old and am going to graph the akron rubberducks!
I am wondering what i will need and what is best.
The only baseball people talk about is ROMLB but those are $15 and being 15 i dont have that much to spend on baseballs, are there any good alternatives, i am not graphing to sell but for my own collection
THanks

some teams offer team card sets..u can check the team shop when u get there they run anywhere from 5 to 10 a set..or u can maybe just print off a couple different team logos 8x10 or larger and get that signed. just depends on what u can afford..

You could also contact one of the many member here that do custom cards. I see some really nice ones all the time on here.

Being 16 I feel ya on having no money!! I either use cards that I get on ebay for cheap or order 4x6 photos and have them shipped to CVS or do the one hour print. Also, at CVS you're first 25 4x6's are free!! Let me know if you need any help or would like to 50/50, I graph the Lansing Lugnuts if you need anyone from there!!

I graph the Lake County Captains, and I am also a broke teenager. Like maxzemke24 said, CVS is good to get photos. Also, like bryanATX said, many users create custom cards (including myself). dhuxos and lilmezzy are some of the good custom makers that are active on the site. Also look for Bowman base cards of prospects from past years as well as cards of major leaguers that have taken a fall. Bryan LaHair was on the team last year.

if you want to do pictures I suggest adoramapix.com. yeah you have to wait for a a little bit to get them in but, the prices are amazingly cheap.

I saw a few people suggest the site on here a while back and I tried it. You can get 8x10s for under $2 and the quality is amazing.

If you really want to collect team signed baseballs, I use ROMLB1. They are around 1/4 of the price & so far I haven't seen any issues with them as far as the ink bleeding into the leather. Only other alternative is to try & get to the games early to snag a BP ball.

I like the idea of the ROMB1 alot cheaper than regular ball

sharpprints.com is what I use for my photos, 8x10 around a buck, shipping is $8.95 no matter how many you order, to my house in OH in about 3 days. I may do a little graphing this year for the Rubberducks myself. But like everyone has suggested, smaller photos and team sets would be the cheapest route to go if you're on a budget.
