Trump Baseballs

[cubsfan129]

I was just wondering, I know that a dozen balls costs about $30, but does anyone know how much shipping is? Thanks in advance.

[KC Kenseth Fan]

Mine were $12.37

Thanks!

I wouldn't go with those Trump balls. Go for the Rawlings 'Little League' balls from Wal-Mart for under $3 each.
They are just as "leathery" as the Trumps with less Print on them, and they are still Rawlings.
Just my opinion.

Thanks! That sounds even better. Have all the autographed Rawlings Little League Baseballs you have held the signature well? Thanks again!

No, I haven't gotten an auto on the Little League Rawlings yet.
BUT! I have gotten autos on the 2 other Rawlings baseballs you can get for that price and they are NOT good for autos.
Those that are not good for autos are the Rawlings Official League CROLB and OLB3 balls.
CROLB, have slick coating making it near impossible for ball point pens to work and the OLB3 are made of a syntheic, rubbery leather that absorbs the ink.
So the Rawlings Little League balls seem to be just right. Good leather like material (unlike the OLB3), no slick coating (unlike the CROLB).
I have one waiting for a Brewers signing this weekend; and I'm picking up a few more for TTM for the week of the 27th.

I got Hoffman (TTM) on a CROLB with Fine PT Blue Sharpie and it's FLAWLESS. We also got Casey McGehee with Med Pt Blue Sharpie on a CROLB. The CROLB with those 2 Sharpie signatures will hold forsure, but most collectors don't like to use Sharpie for their autos.
We got Hardy TTM on a OLB3 with Med Pt Blue Papermate pen and you can see after a few months the ink is getting into the material.

The Little League ball faded for me in like 6 weeks. Go for the trump ball since a dozen of those Little League balls would be like 36 bucks and a dozen of trump balls+shipping would be about 40 bucks and I think trumps balls look better

Thanks for all the help! I think I'll go with the Trump Balls, but thanks for the help deeakay and dicekmvp.

I just got a bunch of Trump balls autographed this weekend and they held the signatures very well from a regular papermate blue ball point pen. I got sigs on the panels and on sweet spots and all came out fine.
