IIRC the auto ball is an in person signing event that will take place early in the season. they have been swamped in the sales office so it may take a little longer for them to set it up than they originally expected.

the Yo ball is worth 50$ like others have stated. when i renewed my season package this year i got the choice to recieve an auto ball by a couple different players. i got the yo ball, and i could order other autoed balls for the other seats in the package at 50$ each.

i think most accidental ODs are because a person has developed such a tolerance for something that they have increased the dose they are consuming to dangerous levels trying to get the effect that they got the first few times they used the substance.

its a festivus for the rest of us!

i saw that on the CBS up to the minute newscast last night. the guy was from canada, and is full of it IMO, but it did make the national news. i think he is just using some pscyological warfare on his kid. EDIT: i heard that walmart is getting some in tomorrow(tuesday 18th) here in Beloit.

i have extras of #2, #5, #6, #7, #8, #11, & #15. PM me if interested.

I got this in an email from beckett and thought some here may like the info. Grading the Autograph When I am attending card shows I got a ton of questions. Many times I will write a question down and share it in either the Grade School each month or in the Beckett Grading newsletter "The Report Card". One question I get from time to time is how is an autograph grade determined? In this issue I will try to explain some of the details of autograph grading. Generally speaking, autograph flaws will only deduct from the autograph grade. For example, a card that was signed and immediately smeared will get a lower grade on the autograph, but the surface will not be affected. An exception to this rule would be if the autograph flaw affects both the signature quality and the card itself; for instance, a signed cut that creases the surface and also smears the autograph. The best rule of thumb is that any flaws related to the actual ink of the autograph will normally be deducted from the autograph grade, while other flaws generally are taken into account on the surface grade. When the signature is on a sticker or cut, and the sticker/cut itself is creased (or torn, stained, etc.), this is taken into account in the surface grade. Excess glue bleeding onto the cut is also counted against surface. If the flaw also damages the autograph itself, both the surface and autograph grade may be lowered. Below are some basic autograph grading standards. The scale is 5 to 10 and there are no half-point grades. Autograph Grading Scale 10 A beautiful, boldly signed autograph that appears nearly perfect to the naked eye. Under normal viewing, it looks like an aesthetically-pleasing autograph. 9 This is a signature that is also very pleasing, but has slight imperfections that barely detract from the autograph. Very light bubbling or micro scratching is allowable, but no yellowing, fading, or smearing. Positioning should be nearly perfect - with just the very tips of a letter or two cut off or hidden. 8 At this level, some flaws begin to stand out slightly. Signature is still solid and pleasing, but might be somewhat bubbled throughout, or have areas of minor scuffing/scratching that detracts from the aesthetic beauty of the signature. Only lightly visible yellowing or fading or smearing is allowed. A cut signature may only have 10% of the signature hidden (or missing, when referring to a sticker autograph). Only a very small tip of the signature may run off or bleed onto the edge. 7 Flaws are evident, including heavy bubbling throughout, noticeable scratching, minor but noticeable yellowing or fading, small but obvious portions of smeared ink. Up to 20% of a cut autograph may be hidden, or 20% of a sticker auto may be missing. A portion of the signature may run off the card or may bleed onto the edge. 6 Heavy flaws are easily visible and highly distracting, including bubbling to the point of portions of the autograph being essentially invisible, extremely distracting scratching, yellowing or fading, or significantly smeared ink on multiple areas of the autograph. Up to 35% of a cut autograph/sticker may be hidden/missing. Several letters of the signature may run off the card, bleeding onto the edge or opposite side of the card. 5 Very heavy flaws that highly distract from the autograph, including portions of the autograph being completely removed or invisible, catastrophic scratching throughout the entire autograph, extremely heavy yellowing, massive fading of the entire signature, smeared ink throughout the entire autograph. Over 50% of a cut autograph/sticker may be hidden/missing.

i personally would not pay that either, but i thought others may like to know about the signing.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140151953591&ssPageName=ADME:B:TB6:US:2 that is crazy. i`ve been watching them and they have been going for 60-70, but 158 with 10$ shipping?

what i do with the return package is put my addy as both the sender and reciever so they have nowhere else to send it but you.

i skipped auto friday this time around. after the prince ordeal i am wary of wasting my time trying to get autos. i am curious though as to how it was set up and how it all went. ryan unlike prince prolly came out on time and didn`t leave early which helps to keep the line moving and to get to as many people as possible.

it is the same group he signed with last time.

almost positive its ryan braun.

4 tickets in SEC 419 Row 9. the 4 tickets for 40$. interesting trades considered. PM me if interested.

dang you guys are getting there early. i was planning on heading over there around 11ish. i usually head over about 11:30 and have never missed out. maybe i`ll do 10:30 or so because its prince. do you guys always get there so early, or is it more because you think that the turn out for prince will be nuts?

wow. thats quite a generalization based on a small sample. I would also say that anyone 28-32 yrs old thats dumpster diving prolly is suffering from a mental disability of some sort. remember this is the USA...home of capitolism. where a person with an idea, as crazy or stupid as it sounds to you or i, has the oportunity to make as much or as little of themselves as they please.

i was thinking that the ushers were terrible also. it hasn`t been all that bad this year in general in my opinion, but they were unprepared for the rush that came at them. when the rush did come they gave it a i don`t get paid enough for this attitude. people were cutting line like crazy, one person in a family would be in line and then they would bring the rest of their family and friends. i was 4th in line outside and got pushed and cutted until i didn`t get an auto. quite unbelievible the way people were acting.

Friday night autos was outta hand tonight. tried to get prince but got shut out. people were shoving and cutting line pretty bad, not a cool scene. i got in line outside at 4:10..unbelievable that i wasn`t able to get an auto. anybody else go for prince and have better luck? didn`t make it to the players lot. too hot and we ended up running a little later than expected.

i don`t think sheeter will be signing due to the injury.

these have been taken.

Tickets are sold. thanks for the responses.

they announced at last nights game that 400 level tickets are only 8$ for that series so my price will be 20$ per game.

it looks like i will be trying for my first time on friday. i was wondering what you guys do to pass the time. i was thinking about bringing my glove and playing catch with my buddy, maybe a cooler with a couple of sodas. do you bring chairs? we won`t be able to get there until 1:15 ish due to work and drive time...do you think that will be too late? thanks for the feedback. on the selling thing note, i personally haven`t, but this is the usa and we are about capitolism and obviously there is some demand for the items or they wouldn`t sell. my thinking is that some people make good enough money that they would rather pay for an auto rather than going to the lengths that some of us around here would to obtain one. perhaps some people view sellers as an asset for obtaining autos. to me meeting the person is a huge part of the auto, but thats just my own view.
