Auto on a Wax pack

[milkit1]

I got red grange on a sportskings wrapper about 20 years ago. It looked nice signed in sharpie. I don't have it anymore but I doubt the signature faded or anything.

go to Wal-Mart and pick up the NBA Indoor/outdoor basketball. They are relatively inexpensive ($20 or so) and make a great medium for basketball autographs

I can't see getting a sealed wax pack signed, especially a vintage one.

First, I think it would damage the "integrity" of the pack as a vintage item by adding a non-vintage signature, no matter how relevant.

Second, there's always the risk of the pack being damaged during the signing process, presuming this is a pack with a stick of gum in it and the gum is in the front.

my Grange was AWESOME. Wish I had it back

Just wanted to give an update on the wax pack auto--I tried multiple times to upload a pic with no success as i think the jpg was too big. I had my daughter autograph an '87 fleer wax pack as a test and it held the signature better than just about any surface possible. I could not smear it no matter how hard i pressed, even with a little water, the signature did not so much as smudge! Now this was different from the '72 Fleer pack i was taking down to get auto'd but still felt very similar. I have no doubts it would have held up just fine.
Unfortunately, Meadowlark did not feel comfortable signing the pack but was an absolute gentleman and happily signed an 8x10 for me and an index card for my daughter. I have some great pics so i will continue to try to post them. Thanks to all for the suggestions!

Interesting. What do you mean he 'did not feel comfortable' signing the pack? He should sign whatever the hell is put in front of him.

Sorry, I should have clarified up front. This was a USO tour that was a meet and greet--everything was completely free of charge. He said the pack was too small and that he had broken his hand so many times it pained him to sign something that small. He did sign the index card but it was quite "shaky".
