Best Pens for Jersey Autographs — But Never Use This Color
Description
What is the best pen for getting a jersey signed?
In this episode of The Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, Matt breaks down exactly which pens we use for autographed jerseys during professional signings.
The biggest factor is knowing whether your jersey has a sewn-on number or a screen-printed number.
We explain when to use a black Sharpie, when a silver Sharpie actually works great, and when a silver paint pen is the better choice.
Matt also explains why you should never use a white paint pen on a fabric jersey number, plus what can happen when cheap jersey material causes an autograph to bleed.
If you're sending a jersey to an autograph signing, this episode will help you choose the right pen without overcomplicating it.
Keep it simple, match the pen to the material, and always test your pen before the athlete signs.
