He seems to sign baseballs and large photos more often than baseball cards...The turn around is usually quicker for these iteams as well.

how big of a photo like 8x11 is big enough. And i think i will send a baseball as well. One more question i should send to yankees stadium right. I am such a huge yankee fan and he is the best closer in all of baseball so i want to do everything right to get his autograph,

I sent a baseball card quite some time ago. Nothing yet, and not holding my breath. I would try a baseball.

He seems to only sign during spring training. I sent him a baseball last year to Yankee Stadium and no reply. I sent a SI to Yankee Stadium wih no reply. I sent a baseball to spring training and got it signed in 14 days

Hello juliet001,
This year my grandson sent a baseball (16 days turnaround) and I sent custom index card (27 days turnaround) at two seprate times to spring training and received them both signed (see below). We don't live in the same home. I told him about Mariano.

But.... my other two grandsons sent a baseball and a 4x6 photo to Yankees Stadium and they haven't received them as of today. Between use living at different homes we are at 50% success rate.

It could of been just lost in the mail, As I know he's a very good signer. A baseball is more money over all but wroth it if you get it back. A baseball card is the low cost way to do it.

Good luck and look forward to hear your success!
