Updates on current signings

SIGNING UPDATES (last update 12/19/2025)

***IF A SIGNING IS NOT LISTED HERE IT IS STILL LIVE ON THE WEBSITE AND WE ARE ACCEPTING ITEMS. RECENTLY RETURNED SIGNINGS ARE LISTED BELOW***

**REMEMBER: I make sure players are available in close proximity to the due date. Once the due date passes, I starting the scheduling process. I cannot predict a player's life/schedule. There will often be waits- most short, some longer. If you aren't okay with this, do not participate.

----------------------------------------------

These are signings that need to be scheduled/rescheduled:

Dan Uggla- I was finally able to get in touch with Dan and he was very apologetic about the delays- he says he will sign after the holiday season.

AJ Smith-Shawver- (was booked by Duck's Dugout) and I'm awaiting on when the signing will be rescheduled.

Collin McHugh- I haven't heard from Collin in a while on a small amount of items. Not sure if this will get done, but trying.

Gary Matthews Sr.- has been a long delay, maybe something is going on with Sarge. He answers when I call, it just hasn't gotten done yet.

Players out of the country that will sign once they return to the states:

Rafael Ramirez- Is very difficult to get ahold of, but I had a long convo with him about baseball and family, and the signing. He is due to be in the states in January and wants to sign.

Ramon Santiago- This is one where Ramon communicates, but doesn't let me know when he's in the states. Not sure this will get done.

Randall Delgado- I haven't heard from Randall in a while, but going through another means to get in touch with him. This isn't a huge signing, but I'd like to get it done.

Neifi Perez- all this time later, Neifi still texts me back sometimes and wants to sign, but hasn't notified me when he actually returns to the states. However, this is on the block to be cancelled come the new year.

Returned recently (last quarter or so shown)

get an autograph through five tool signings

For a private signing, we collect all items through the mail, organize them, and then present them to the player and oversee the signing process on behalf of our collector customers.

Collectors send in their items, along with return postage. After items are signed, they are returned to the customer in their own return packaging.

Where do I send my order? After placing your order, the mailing address for that signing will be included in your confirmation email.

labeling your items

All items will be removed from their original packaging in order to facilitate an efficient signing process, so your label must be directly on the item itself.

Cards, Photos, Tickets, and Other Flats

Write your name on a sticky note and affix it directly to the back of your item. You may also label your top loader or other case, but this is optional.

Baseballs, Baseball Bats, Helmets, and Other Non-Flats

Sticky notes have been known to fall off these items, so instead use a piece of painter’s tape to attach a piece of paper directly onto your item.

Signature or Inscription Placement

If you desire a specific placement for the player’s signature or inscription, designate that area by placing sticky notes or tape with directional arrows adjacent to the area.

pen & marker preferences

Unless otherwise noted, all items (excluding baseballs) will be signed with a Fine Blue Sharpie. Baseballs will be signed with a Blue ball point pen, unless a different pen is requested.

If you'd like a different color that what's standard, it must be labelled on the front of the card/flat, and somewhere easily seen on a bulky item.

We provide Fine and Ultra Fine Blue Sharpie, Medium and Fine Staedtler, Fine Gold and Fine Silver Deco, Fine Gold and Fine Silver Sharpie, Blue Zebra pens and black ball point pens. If you would like your item signed in a different marker or pen, include that in your package with your item. Any pens sent will NOT be returned.
