I Desperately Want A Hank Aaron Signed Baseball For My Collection. But…
Look, I know that I have very little chances of meeting Hank Aaron in person. And if I did, I have read enough to know that he is not the most gracious ‘free’ signer out there. And I completely understand that too.
So, that means that if I want to add a signed ball of Mr. Aaron to my collection, I am going to have to buy one. And since he sits alone atop of my ‘Want List’ on my signed ball list, I shop for his autograph often.

Steiner Sports has them on sale every now and then. I think they want close to $200.
Fuji- Thanks. I have looked into that a few times but the autos they are selling through their shop tend to be the ultra-big and ultra-sloppy versions… Still, if and when it happens, the Steiner COA is a must!
