Hello,
I wanted to get some new cards signed but the have a real glossy finish to them. What can I do to them so the autograph doesn't bleed or run?

Rub them with baby powder

Baby powder is good, a good eraser swiped a few times over the gloss works, and I read today that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser used lightly takes down the gloss so sharpie stays put. Just don't rub too much or too heavily.

Pantyhose work well if you rub awhile.
You also need to use a nice good regular size sharpie.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. :D

This one was sugegsted back in the 1980s when I was writing Up Autograph Alley for SCD. It works, but you would have been surprised at how many collectors back then (all males) pooh-poohed the idea for being too "girly". As far as I'm concerned, if it works, it's a good idea. I wonder if any of these macho types have lightened up by 2009?:rolleyes:

Does baby powder work on those Perez Steele cards or the yellow HOF cards? I want to thank everyone who has left an answer to my question, keep them coming.

Hello,
I just wanted to say thanks to the people who helped me out with my question. I went to Davey Nelson's glof tournament today at Black Wolf golf course in Kohler, Wisconsin. I was able to get Robin Yount to sign a Perez Steele card, the baby powder trick worked. THANKS!!

Thanks Helen. Robin was a great person today I was able to talk to him for about 20 minutes. We talked about racing and about his son Dustin who also played pro ball. He signed a few things for me like a game used bat, ball, and the Perez Steele card. Not every day you get to meet one of your heroes growing up.
