Whether you are a current or prospective collector of autographed baseballs, there is one important thing you must know. What is the best writing utensil that you must use when you get a baseball signed by a player?
If you want to preserve the baseball for a long time so that it has the best chance of being worth something in the future, or even if it’s not about the monetary but sentimental value that you are looking to preserve, this is an important but simple choice you can make. Through many years of being a baseball collector, I have seen many people make the wrong choice and use the wrong utensil, it hurts to see it because authentic Major League Baseballs can cost anywhere from $15 to $25, and if you choose the wrong writing utensil, not only can it ruin the autographed ball but it can waste a lot of money.
Now to the simple answer, the general rule is that when you get an autographed ball it should be signed with a BALL POINT PEN. It is that simple!
Now many people choose to use a Sharpie marker, but this is the worst choice of them all. At first, the marker will look great on the ball, but sooner or later that type of ink will run and bleed all over the ball and you will set yourself up for disappointment. This is not to say that pen ink will never run or bleed on baseballs, but, it is the best ink with the best chance to survive for a long time, plus there are additional tips that we can offer so that you can increase the chances of preserving that nice signed ball that you cherish, STAY TUNED for more!
