I like pen myself. It gives it an in person feel to the signature imo.

Autographs
I prefer pen autographs. There are certain cards,at least from the era I collect, that don’t have conducive backgrounds for a pen auto so a sharpie will do in those instances.

I've been pushing towards all vintage pen, however you take what you can get sometimes.
You be amazed how tough it is to find even great TTM signers with period signatures. This leads me to believe that with the advent of the internet, and subsequently eBay and online player lists, a majority of vintage cards were signed post 1995, with another glut post 2002. I realize there had been player address lists circulating via books and otherwise before hand, but in my eyes technology led to far easier access, and increased popularity of vintage signed cards.

I prefer pen every time for my collection.
My thought is that this is the writing instrument that the athlete would likely have had in his hand when signing the card in the era that the card was produced. |
