Another thing to consider is the size of the pen tip. Rivera's 92 Bowman looks great with a Staedtler fine blue, and he takes his time and presses uniformly throughout the autograph. That fine tip, however, doesn't work well on Charles Woodson whose autograph is just a quick, light slide to the right.
The greater the definition, the thinner the tip so you can see more of the detail. I've found Staedtler Mediums to be MUCH more consistently high quality than Sharpies. More money, but sharpies split too often for my taste
That’s good to hear! I picked up my first Staedtler last night and I didn’t know if I should order the fine tip or medium. I ended up going medium
Great video! Thankfully the cheapest option for PSA to slab cards and authenticate autos is $36/card now (or $60 for Economy)
Quick question, have you ever tried Uni Paint markers on cards? We had Steph grab the first guys pen and run with it on my first year Prizm Curry. It was a black Uni Paint marker and I received the boldest/non-streaky auto Ive ever seen from Steph. I haven’t had a chance to use one again but I ordered a couple and have them on the way to me
I also picked up a blue Staedtler to try out. Heard that’s what Panini uses, not sure what folks think of that pen
Great advice!
My go to for a trading card is a blue Staedtler. A blue Sharpie, particularly a fresh one with a point that hasn’t been worn down, would be a close second.
Used that pen on some recent Rivera 1992 bowman. Curious how they turned out.
Will blue bed fine for a red insert card? But the player has blue shorts. More specifically World Cup prizm red mojo pulisic #/99
How about cleaning a card after it’s been autographed to get any fingerprints or residual oils off the card before submitting it?
I love going to baseball games and getting autographs as I’m a teen 💥
If I have a rookie card (lamelo ball) and it is already graded, how should I get a signature or if I even should?
Doesn’t sign send in items
If I prep a glossy card, should I be good with a sharpie, or will it still be a bad one to use
Sharpies are the go to pen for cards
Hi there, do you recommend getting prizm silvers/rwb signed & if so what's the best pen to use? Also, best pen to use on acetate cards ?
Blue sharpie
@@PowersSportsMemorabilia looking to use a bright yellow/light blue on a prizm rwb. any recommendations? How long do paint pens take to completely dry?
@@jamesmacatangay3492 molotow paint. 50/50 shot it looks decent
hey i have a nfl football signed from a whole team. how do I know the price of it. I won it as first prize in 2013 instead of an xbox which was the second
Aany regrets???
@@Nvrskrd I mean in 2013 I was 7 so yes

Of
Course

What if the trading card are already in a psa not signed how do you get it out
Crack it out. Tons of videos on CZcams how to do it.

Getting just 'trading card' on the psa slab is a mistake and turns alot of collectors off.
Really only option at this point.
👍
I think autograph grading has gotten stricter in the last few months. Last year I sent 5 Shaq cards and 2 got 9's because of slight variation in the signature ink pressure. I sent more this year and I'm getting 7-8 on a lot of them, if it looks perfect then 9-10, if the signature has variation in pen pressure then just get Auth. A bigshot told me if it's less than 10, just go with Auth; I still find value in 9's. The biggest risk with cards marked trading card is that some people think it is a fake if they don't list the year/make, that can cost some sales.
Is it necessary to open up the slab before getting an autograph on a card?
If you want the card signed yes
I once couldn't get an auto cause someone at the game has an entire book of cards and the player sat there for 5 minutes signing all of them then he had to leave
How to ruin your cards value 101 😂
Quite the opposite. Take a card that’s a psa 8 or less. Get it signed. Doubles, triples etc the value. Take a Jeter SP Foil. I’ve sold low grade signed cards of those for over $3,000. But as always, do what suites your tastes.
How exactly are you ruining the value of your card?! Your just making it more exclusive
How about cleaning a card after it’s already been autographed to get any fingerprints off or residual oils off?
You can use a micro fiber cloth just don’t touch the autograph
