Do you really have your heart set on getting a football signed? I ask for several reasons, main ones are postage costs would be very expensive (even if deflated) and also the signatures on a football tend to fade very quickly no matter what precautions you take to preserve them. Alternatives are a shirt, quality team pennant or even a team flag which can all fit into your average A4 padded envelope.

When sending a football to be signed what should you send it in, and what else should should yous end with it to up your chances of it getting signed.

Thanks.
