Hi!
I am wanting to organize my large collection - everything is in categories and binders - but I want to use a data organizer for my macbook.
What has any program people here have found helpful and why.
Idatabase looks good so far - but what else do others like?
Thanks!

I've started a discussion in the Discussion Forum on the use of the Staedtler marker on those cheap synthetic leather baseballs that are so bad at fading and bleeding an autograph. I'm conducting an experiment with the autograph of Atlanta Braves general manager Frank Wren using the Staedtler Lumocolor #317 medium point marker on a synthetic leather Braves baseball. Should be interesting!
Hey! Be sure to check out my new album, the 2012 Drew Brees Celebrity Championship Golf Tournament!

KDH, as far as black baseballs go, I don't like them! :) But I know a lot of people do, and I'd be willing to help anyone else who does. What they guy in the memorabilia shop across the street from my work does is he gets a gold paint pen to use on a black baseball. It looks really good since the stitching on the ball is gold. He's had some in his shop for about 4 years now, and they appear to be holding up over time. I say go for it! Just use gold, though.
Do you have an update about what you did with the black baseball, Jeffery? I really love them, but I have no idea about (1) what to use to sign them and (2) if the autographs will maintain over time.
That's about right, Oriole. That's usually what I average. I did not send any out this year; was concentrating on other autograph projects.
After joining this forum, I learned about requesting autographs via the mail. So this spring training, I sent out around 60 requests during the first week of camp. That was about a month ago, so far I haven’t received any auto's in the mail. On average, if you try this technique how many players do you get back, 20-40%??? Or did i just waste time and money?
Thanks!
Be sure to check my album and read my review of the 2012 National Baseball & Softball Expo!
