I just start to collect sports memorabilia, This Vid really helps me! Thanks! -From South Korea

Question, aren't NBA players hesitant with blue pens or sharpies due to how easy they are to copy or something like that?

Another thing to consider is the size of the pen tip. Rivera's 92 Bowman looks great with a Staedtler fine blue, and he takes his time and presses uniformly throughout the autograph. That fine tip, however, doesn't work well on Charles Woodson whose autograph is just a quick, light slide to the right. The greater the definition, the thinner the tip so you can see more of the detail. I've found Staedtler Mediums to be MUCH more consistently high quality than Sharpies. More money, but sharpies split too often for my taste

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, advice, and tips.

Great video! Thankfully the cheapest option for PSA to slab cards and authenticate autos is $36/card now (or $60 for Economy) Quick question, have you ever tried Uni Paint markers on cards? We had Steph grab the first guys pen and run with it on my first year Prizm Curry. It was a black Uni Paint marker and I received the boldest/non-streaky auto Ive ever seen from Steph. I haven’t had a chance to use one again but I ordered a couple and have them on the way to me I also picked up a blue Staedtler to try out. Heard that’s what Panini uses, not sure what folks think of that pen

Great advice! My go to for a trading card is a blue Staedtler. A blue Sharpie, particularly a fresh one with a point that hasn’t been worn down, would be a close second.

I love going to baseball games and getting autographs as I’m a teen 💥

this video is super brilliant and helful !!!! thank you so much!!!!

@Powers Sports Memorabilia (or anyone else) I have seen people who wait for players after a game to get sports cards signed and they are using some sort of book where they have like 4 cards on a page and then they just quickly turn to the page of the player. This way the player doesn’t have to touch the card (preventing any damage risk, but it also gives them a flat surface to sign on, does anyone know where to get those books that will hold the cards to keep them safe like this? Please respond below and/or @ me.

Is it necessary to open up the slab before getting an autograph on a card?

If I have a rookie card (lamelo ball) and it is already graded, how should I get a signature or if I even should?

How about cleaning a card after it’s been autographed to get any fingerprints or residual oils off the card before submitting it?

👍

hey i have a nfl football signed from a whole team. how do I know the price of it. I won it as first prize in 2013 instead of an xbox which was the second

If I prep a glossy card, should I be good with a sharpie, or will it still be a bad one to use

is it also okay to use Sharpie Metallic Markers on Paper like Card?

im looking to start collecting autographed pucks and wat some uv protection for them, i see a lot of basbell uv protctive ones but no hockey. anyone know where to find some?

I think autograph grading has gotten stricter in the last few months. Last year I sent 5 Shaq cards and 2 got 9's because of slight variation in the signature ink pressure. I sent more this year and I'm getting 7-8 on a lot of them, if it looks perfect then 9-10, if the signature has variation in pen pressure then just get Auth. A bigshot told me if it's less than 10, just go with Auth; I still find value in 9's. The biggest risk with cards marked trading card is that some people think it is a fake if they don't list the year/make, that can cost some sales.

Hi there, do you recommend getting prizm silvers/rwb signed & if so what's the best pen to use? Also, best pen to use on acetate cards ?

Getting just 'trading card' on the psa slab is a mistake and turns alot of collectors off.

What if the trading card are already in a psa not signed how do you get it out

I once couldn't get an auto cause someone at the game has an entire book of cards and the player sat there for 5 minutes signing all of them then he had to leave
