On modern photographs and tickets I prefer fine-tip sharpie for two reasons:
1) Typically they apply an even, great signature with terrific contrast or "pop".
However, if the Sharpie is too wide, it can sometimes look trashy
2) Ball point pen can skip during a signature if it's not of good quality or the signer doesn't check to make sure that the pen is working properly
Bottom line: This is definitely a matter of preference. As a collector, whatever appeals to you the most and what makes you happy is what you should collect.   |
Completely agree with Scott
