Favorite autograph Pens?
Anyone have a preference? I know as far as a vintage card goes there’s no replacing a sharpie but as far as modern goes, what do you guys like to use? Paint Pens? Sharpies? If paint pens what brand? I usually like to go 1.5mm Molotow paint pens, but I know some people love Decocolor, (Deco is my preference for silver and gold) Staedtler Lumocolor, (what Topps uses) or even Posca

this is a great topic.. expecially since i remember getting my first card signed with a regular pen.. now with all the fancy cards you gotta use a sharpie or something.. and better hope it dries and you dont smug it haha

Very special prep for the paint pens. Paper or sketch just give it a lil rub with the microfiber but if it’s chrome, first wipe a high polymer eraser over the auto area, the wipe area with a microfiber. Always prep the marker too. Then before the auto write on a practice card of a similar material. Paint pen autos will be perfect every time

I know for jerseys and stuff like that I’ve seen people use sharpies. Always just assumed thats what most used for cards as well but now may have to look into whats best to use on cards since a local card shop always does auto sessions for Seattle players

Depends where you get it signed. The number paint pen or sharpie, the jersey it’s self (some people do it) a sharpie or fabric pen.

Yeah I would imagine that would play a big factor as well. I’ve never been one to try to get memorabilia signed but may start to

Sharpie is what I’ve heard for a while now

I love the new culture of making those autos pop. Those bobbleheads kinda started the trend but a genius card collector realized what if I try it on cards. I feel like just the right auto color can add so much value to a card. Can help it stand out above others

Yeah a color match auto would definitely pop and make it stand out for sure
