TJLloydRumph Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm going this weekend and am interested in hearing what type of marker others use for autographs. I've only used Sharpies before (silver and black) but am worried about them fading on footballs. I'm getting a football signed this weekend by Sonny and a helmet signed by Jim Brown. Someone mentioned something about a paint pen for footballs (I'm going silver) but I don't remember what brand or where to get it. For the helmet I'm thinking regular black sharpie... will that fade? Anyone know something better? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinslove<3 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 the thing about when you get autographs on balls, they take about 4 months to officially set and dry. which is why as soon as you are done you need to wrap it up in saran wrap....just my opinion.

4npower Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Kudo's to Skinslove She is right and Sharpie's are ok but get a paint pen. (ACMOORE or Micheals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The guest usually have 10 or so pens at the table so you should be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Take a silver paint pen and ask them to sign with your pen. The best autographs are done when the pen is new so after a few uses throw it away. Paint pens are the only ones that dont fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieF Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'd be careful about Saran wrap, you don't want it to smear. If you have a football box and can put the ball in the box where the autograph doesn't touch anything, just keep anything from touching it for a while.

Skins1957 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Nice pics thanks for posting. I also went and got the Super ticket of Redskins Quarterbacks Sonny Jurgensen, Joe Theismann, Billy Kilmer, Mark Rypien, Doug Williams. I have a football with Sammy Baugh Signature on it and had them all sign it. Hopefully one day Jason Campbell will be able to sign it also.

MWCREDSKINS Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I went it was okay. As usual just too crowded but all the guests were great. Even Doug Williams who sometimes isn't the nicest man was very upbeat when we started talking about Super Bowl XXII. Saw Horton again, I'm a huge fam of that young man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
