I do understand the issue with the $25 donation especially after buying a $15 baseball. Then the shipping is $5 and change. That does cover it both ways. So that puts the investment at $45. I still think this is a great deal. Tulo at a show would definitely be over $100. Yes, I do agree that it can be spendy, but to obtain him at a show would cost 4 times as much, and again you would have to bring your own ball which if it was an Official Major League Baseball would still be $15. I am happy with the ball, and have spent more than that on obtaining signatures. My father's day gift was a baseball signed by Justin Verlander and MLB Authenticated. The cost of the ball was $150. My Pete Rose was $100 meeting him in Vegas. Same price whether or not you take their baseball or bring your own. My Stan Musial was $101. $75 for the signature, $15 for the ball, $10 for shipping, and $1 for authentication. Even the signatures I have gotten in person without a payment have a $15 investment due to the cost of the ball. The thing is a person either has to be willing to pay for the item, or not. And with the uncertain economy it can be spendy. I understand your frustration.
The Tigers only allow cards and photo's. Some players will only accept cards. The Rockies will sign whatever as long as you provide the return postage along with your $25 donation. Having had this work so well with Tulo, I look forward to sending for Helton and Car Go.
