Advice on where to find?

[mattjc1983]

Have a few autographed baseballs that I've been trying to find for a few years that I'm having trouble with, wondering if anyone can point me to a good resource outside of eBay (maybe a smaller mom and pop shop with an online presence)? I know that Brett and Henderson really just come down to supply and demand, as it seems neither of them do an abundance of signings (especially Brett). All of these do pop up on eBay, but they're usually way overpriced or toned/yellowed, or not certified by one of the big boys (UDA, Tristar, Steiner, Mounted Memories, etc.), as I'm ok paying more for witnessed signatures than JSA or PSA's after-the-fact opinion. Any help/guidance is appreciated!

• George Brett
• Rickey Henderson with "1406" (or the like) inscription
• Cal Ripken with "2131" (or the like) inscription, ideally not on the "8" logo'd baseball
• Hank Aaron with "755" (or the like) inscription

Pretty sure Henderson is going to be at the White Plains Thanksgiving show next month. If you aren't in NY they have a mail in option and you can pay extra for an inscription.

I do not know if this will help but in the southeast 2 sources for you would be:
1. Creative Sports Enterprises in Palm Harbor , FL and
2. Radtke Sports in the Atlanta area.
Both have websites and ship all over . I know they do private signings with a wide assortment of athletes and have a store also. Both in my opinion , and from my sources, have good products at market prices with unquestioned authenticity. I have done a few deals with both of them and have been pleased.
Good luck
