My first post on the board...sorry it's not about vintage cards, but...
my son and I attended the Bob Gibson Celebrity Golf Classic this weekend in Omaha, and went with the intention of getting as many autographs as possible on a couple MLB balls. But we got a lecture from Steve Carlton, followed by about eight others, who told us we should never get an autograph on a ball with a Sharpie, as it will bleed and fade out. Finally, one of the players said to get it laminated after all the autographs, and that would seal it up and prevent the fading and bleeding from happening. Laminate a baseball? Can that be done? Surely you don't get that done at a school supply or copy center. anybody here have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
