Remember The Most Value You Can Get Of A Baseball That Is Signed Is With An Official Major League Baseball That They Use In The Game,You Can Buy Them At A Sports Store, And With...

  1. Blue Pen All ways - The Reason For That Is That It Makes It Hard To Fake Any One Can Take A Copy Of A Signature And Most Copy's People Make Of Signatures Is Black, And They Can Print It And Paste It On A Ball Photograph Or Other Of Your Baseball Star. If You Use The Traditional Blue Ink It Is Much Easier To Not Fake Because You Can Always Look Closely, And See The Pixilation On The Copied Signature With Color Than With Black. That Is Why Almost All the Professional Collectors Have There Autographs In Blue Ballpoint Pen Ink. Also Blue Pens Are One Of The Most Used pens In The World Next To Black. So All Ways Get Them Done In Blue No Other Color. Because In The Collecting World It Is The Most Accepted For Reasons I Stated Above, And Most Professional
  2. The Right Ink - Find A Pen That Advertises Smooth Writing, More Than Likely They Use Roller ball Ink Which Does Not Skip And Leave Blank Spaces On The Signature Much Like Ballpoint It Is Smooth And The Player Can Write With Little Drag, Meaning A Softer On The Eyes Autograph, With Very Little Skips. AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS. THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO BY PENS WILL BE THE WORST PLACE TO BY PENS, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO OFFICE STORES LIKE STAPLES, OFFICE MAX, AND OFFICE DEPOT. They Have A Whole Range Of Companies That Will Sell Them Pens And You Will Get The Best You Can Find At Those Stores, Because They Will Sell Pens With Roller ball Ink, They Are Usually The Most Exspensive Pens. But The Company That Will Sell You The Cheapest Is UNIBALL They Make Some Of The Best Pens With Great Features, (THAT'S RIGHT I SAID FEATURES) For Example, No Smear Ink, Quick Drying Ink, Ink That Prevents Check Washing So No One Can Put Your Check In A Chemical And Desolve The Ink, It Will Barely Wash Away And Sill Be Remanisant On Your Check.

  3. Pen Best To Use - And The Pen Of Choice From My Research Is The UNIBALL JETSTREAM BLUE INK, & UNIBALL GEL IMPACT, BOTH OF THEM 1.0mm BOLD POINT. The Jetstream Has Roller ball Ink, And The Gel Impact Drys Faster Than Normal Gel Inks And More Smear Resistant And Also Smooth Writing. In All My Research Of Going To Office Depot Dozens Of Times And The Money Spent On Pens, These 2 Have Come Out Bar None To Make Some Of The Boldest And Clear Beautiful Autographs From Baseball Players.

Use Those, And With The Strike Of The Signature You Have An Autographed Baseball That's Put In More Value.

Thank you And I Hope You Take My Wisdom From What I've Learned For Your Self,
