How to Prep Cards for TTM Autographs (Through the Mail)

[Bigdog7499]

This is great, thanks for the info!!!

[mastermo1557]

can you use the baby powder on photos?

[theautographnetwork]

@mastermo1557 - You do not need to prep photos printed on photo paper, you only need to prep glossy cards, like the Topps Chrome

Very informative, Mike!

Great video Mike! Helped me a ton.

[illicitjmoskid44]

For NBA like Blake Grifin you gave us the arena adress so should i use that or should i use the practice facility one???

[theautographnetwork]

@illicitjmoskid44 - If I listed the arena address send it to that one. Most guys get their stuff send directly to their locker from the arena address, good luck!

[stacyshaffer]

[theautographnetwork]

@UKTerrenceJones - He is a hall of famer, so it is a good one to have

[theautographnetwork]

[99allbeast]

Goooooooo packers

[theautographnetwork]

@99allbeast - Pack is looking good so far, thanks for watching!

[rideithard661]

good video, never thought of using an eraser I just use baby powder.

[theautographnetwork]

@rideithard661 - I personally think baby powder is better, but thats just me

[celticsmaniac18]

nice vid mike. (:

[EverybodyLovesAutos]

Nice video Mike, I should have prepped the Watts I showed yesterday. It probably would have come out 100% better.

[theautographnetwork]

@EverybodyLovesAutos - the lessons we learn, sometimes we learn them the hard way. I have been there

[cwells46]

"You don't have to rub it in super hard"

That's what she said......Sorry had to take that shot

[theautographnetwork]

@cwells46 - Haha, classic, glad some one gave it a shot!

[perria65]

this is what i like to see people going out of thier way to show young ttm"ers what to do to get an autogrpah ttm! thanks Mike!!

[theautographnetwork]

@perria65 - We were all there at one time or another, just starting out. I hope it helps some people, getting autos in todays cards is much different than what it use to be when I started

[StuckeyIsTheBest3]

The white eraser's work the best, just in case anyone was wondering. I used to do baby powder, when I go to Pistons games. But now it's way to time consuming compared to the erasing method, so I turned to the eraser.

[theautographnetwork]

@StuckeyIsTheBest3 - Thanks for sharing that info. That is why I posted both methods. Some people like the eraser, I like the baby powder. Do you prep most of your cards?

[StuckeyIsTheBest3]

@theautographnetwork Yes, every glossy card I use gets preped. And I didn't mean the white eraser is better than powder. Powder tends to work better for me. But I meant the white eraser works better than the pink one does.

[tkoz319]

I know a lot of people prep their cards but I have never preped any of my cards and I have never had bubling on anything.

[theautographnetwork]

@tkoz319 - you have gotten lucky then. I am really not a big fan of the new style of cards because they bubble easily, I had to resend a couple of request because the autos bubbled

[tkoz319]

@theautographnetwork yea maby its time to start

[theautographnetwork]

@tkoz319 - haha, nothing more disappointing that getting an autograph back in the mail only to open it up and see it all bubbled up.
