Hey all,

Im going to go down to a Port Power training soon before the end of the season to get some of my cards personally signed. (Better make it soon hey )

Any way.

What pen do you guys use?

Ive tried a few and not really thrilled with any so far.
From smudging to not writing all the time, to missing letters etc

So any ideas??

Cheers

try to use a thin pentelpen head. not the usual big one. to avoid smudging. and the head of the pen should be circle not a square head. I dnt know whats ur brand there, but I use Pilot pentelpen on IP autos

And use an eraser to clean the UV coating off the card, thats the killer IMHO.

I use Sharpies.

I have experimented with alot of permanent markers over a 20 year period. I thought the Retractable Sharpie was a good pen until I started using Staedtler Lumocolor 352. They are a bullet tip and dry very quickly. If your cards are warm or have been in a warm place the cards will dry before a player can flip them to the back after signing and should not smudge. They applicate very evenly and don't bead like some markers tend to do.

Mate you best bet is the Staedtler Lumocolour Fine point. That is what all the major brands in the US use, Upper Deck, Topps, Donruss etc.
