I did a search and only found a thread from 2009 about autographing game used bases. I have a game used base that I am looking to get autographed and was wondering if anyone one might have gotten a game used base autographed before would mind posting pictures. Also any info on what type of pen to use would be great. Thank you.

A couple signed, game used bases from Cal Ripken Jr.'s last season in 2001:

Just curious, what year did you have those signed? I have seen a TON of signed bases that bleed and fade over time.

Signed in 2008; they still look the same today (of course they are not displayed in any direct lighting situtaion).

a tad OT but whenever I look at the base on the right, it reminds me of when I would tease Cal by telling him that he hit nearly 100 more doubles in his career than Babe Ruth (BTW, how many people in the world can make that claim?). Cal being the humble guy he is, always replied that when "Babe hit them far, they usually went over the fence & mine not soo much."
