pens for autographs

Yes I have had a handful of Mays baseballs from the foundation that have bled/faded.

Blue is the ideal color for collectors and will bring more $$ when reselling than black. Black has a tendency to fade turn purple.

Hi gents, new member here but I've been collecting for some years now. I have always used bic roundstick in blue. I will never ever again use black, since my signed Maddux and Garciaparra turned purple within a few years after getting the balls signed. Unfortunately, some players will grab a pen/sharpie and sign everything with it.
