I know I am going for Kluber, Joe Thomas, Bernie Kosar, Len Barker, Tom Berenger, and Corbin Bernsen so far. Maybe Archie Griffin as well but haven't decided for sure yet.

If it's like the fanatic shows, a ball is probably $250-300.

I won't be going for any of the paid ticket signers, but I plan to get crazy on the VIP freebies. In 2014 I printed 11x14 photos on a lot of the, and they turned out great. Most added an inscription without me even having to ask them (Barker and Browning's perfect game dates, Al Baker's ROY season, Joe Delamiellure's HOF year, things like that).

Default VIP Signers vs Day Pass

So if you buy the VIP package that includes the 12 VIP signers, that price is included in the ticket, but then any others (Sanders, Pujols, Boggs, Rose etc.) would be an additional cost and probably very long wait in line?

Trying to convince my wife to take a 'vacation' to Cleveland for my 1st National

Yeah will take a bit of time in line unless you get the special vip or order it quickly online when they go on sale and yeah will be an additional cost depending on the people you get autographs from

Nice. I usually don't get all the vip autos but have been thinking of doing it this year. And what do you do with all the photos

Yeah it's an additional cost. Inscriptions are additional cost and so is authentication. They call up the all the Super VIP's first and then call people up by ticket number. It's usually doesn't take as long.

The VIP signers have longer lines because they're more affordable.

Going to depend on when signers are there and how much they charge. I want to start on a multi HOF signed item(to be determined) and it would be a good chance to pick a few at one time.

Basically.

VIP: 6 VIP signers named on the ticket and 6 "wildcard" tickets to be used on any VIP signer after everyone else has gone if there's time. Lots of long waits in line.

All-Access VIP: Same deal, but you move to the front of the line for your 6 named ones instead of the long waits. I did this in 2014 and wanted to shoot myself.

SuperVIP: Every signer (typically 18 of them). Still a long wait.

All-Access SuperVIP: Every signer, and front of the line access. Doing this for 2018.

Haha, right now they're boxed up due to lack of display space. I picked up some extra tickets as well from people who didn't want theirs (and traded off the two I didn't need), so I ended up with eleven 11x14s, three 8x10s, eight cards, and a dual-signed ball when all was said and done.

Don't pay for Barker or Griffin, they do at least a dozen free signings throughout Ohio a year.
