A Jackson signing should be easier to find than Aaron (and much, much cheaper as well).  The last Aaron private signing I saw Legends of the Field taking orders for last year, it was $269 minimum.

Wow, thanks Rich!

I have Aaron on a ball (with authentication he is still only worth around 100-150$ tops on a ball...) so paying $270 is RIDICULOUS for Hank...despite him being a legend and all.

Reggie I hope is cheaper..  I'm working on a HR club ball and I'd like to have them both..

to make things worse, his current signature on a baseball is hideous.  I would hesitate to get him on a HR ball. It would be better to take one of his older signatures on a ball, and start with that.

Reggie signs through his foundation with a $75 donation I believe (bit pricy for TTM IMO but there ya go)

I checked to see if he is doing this month's Sun-Times Sports show, but apparently not this go around.  Maybe later this year.  I think last time he was there he charged about $70.

I'm worried about sending in ttm with the fear that I'll never get it back. Also, I hear Reggie can be a real jerk to fans and sign on top of someone elses signature on the ball. I have mantle and Dimaggio on the ball so that's why I'm a little cautious

Ah yeah I def wouldn't send TTM with Joe D/Mantle already on it (assuming they're authentic). Surely he wouldn't sign over their names. When you meet him, hand it to him on a wide open spot and ask that he sign where you want it!

Then watch him roll it back to you, smudging the signature ;)

Schmidt and williams used to do that, it was sad to see collectors diving for their treasures like that.

I think your fears about sending through the mail are equated by the risks of getting Jackson in person.  I've heard many horror stories from various sports autograph shows shows.  I would hope he wouldn't intentionally damage a ball with Joe and Mickey on it, but I'd be pretty nervous.

I'm not sure if Hank does any public signings anymore.

.I think if I manage to find out if steiner will have a private signing of the two and they accept submissions id be ok. If I was going to be top dollar for them to sign and make specific instructions where for them to sign and if they don't I'll hold steiner or whatever private signing host accountable.
