    Review

    Manufactured by the trusted Sharpie brand, these are the best pens for baseball autographs thanks to the metallic sheen of the ink.

    The gold, brown and silver variety pack is ideal for the white background of a baseball, but it can work just as well on items like photographs, posters and more.

    The fine point of each pen is surprisingly durable, and it is excellent for use on hard surfaces.

    With ink that flows easily from the tip, there’s never a need to shake or prime these pens to get them working.

    The ink itself is specially formulated by Sharpie so that it is permanent and opaque.

    Whether used on light-colored or dark-colored surfaces, this ink will definitely stand out.

    Review

    This package of two black Sharpies is a really economical choice, yet you still get that brand-name quality and reliability.

    Users sometimes choose this particular model over the competition because the point is retractable.

    This is the best marker for autographs on cards because the ink is compatible with so many surfaces.

    Whether the cardstock is glossy or not, these markers will leave a bold signature.

    The ink is permanent, so use it with care. In addition to paper, these pens are great for marking metal, plastic, glass and other materials.

    With quick-drying ink that’s resilient and bold, water and fading are unlikely to harm the autographs that you collect.

    Review

    If you’re looking for a more economical choice in a gold paint pen, then you’ve got to check out this option.

    The gold metallic-finish paint beautifully reflects light, which might be ideal if you’re going to be displaying your autographed items for all to see.

    The paint dispensed by this marker is saturated with pigment so that it always leaves a bold mark.

    It is oil-based, and this means that it should be applied with care.

    It’s definitely better not to get this paint on surfaces that you don’t intend to mark because removing those marks will involve chemicals like turpentine or acetone.

    What Consumers Are Saying

    Users love the chisel tip because it enables them to make both bold and delicate lines. That’s really ideal for getting autographs. Some critics do warn that this pen works best when it’s used slowly.

    Pros
    • An inexpensive marker with gold paint
    • Makes really bold marks
    • Super-saturated pigment
    Cons
    • Works best when moved slowly across the surface

    Summary

    If you want to make an autograph stand out on a dark background, then this is a fantastic choice.

    This multi-surface marker is an excellent choice when you want to make an indelible mark.

    The waterproof ink is suitable for use on many surfaces including leather, photographs, plastic, wood, metal, glass and more.

    Another really attractive feature is that this marker is low odor. That’s critical if you’re sensitive to smells.

    Pros
    • Makes bold marks
    • Has two tips
    • Low odor
    Cons
    • The ink may rub off of frequently used or touched items

    Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Markers for Autographs

    Whether you’re fascinated by athletes, movie stars or musicians, an autograph is a priceless keepsake that you’ll treasure forever. Of course, if you want that signature to stand the test of time, then it’s wise to use the right pen for the job.

    In most cases, some type of marker is considered appropriate for getting signatures. These writing instruments tend to have easy flowing ink and to be reliable. They also create a bolder statement than a mere ballpoint pen, so that you’ll actually be able to see that signature from across the room.

    Ink or paint

    One of the first considerations you’ll have to weigh with an autograph marker is whether it dispenses ink or paint.

    Ink is preferred by most people as it dries quickly and is less prone to clumping and blobs. Still, others swear by paint pens because of the incredibly bold marks that they make.

    If you go this route, be prepared to allow plenty of drying time for your autographs.

    Surface

    You’ll also want to give some thought to the surface or material to which the autograph will be applied.

    While some markers are suitable for almost any surface from fabric to metal, others are admirably suited to just one or two materials.

    Before choosing a marker for a particular autograph, take a look at the item you’re having signed.

    You may want a different marker depending upon whether you’re having a t-shirt or a helmet signed.

    best markers for autographs

    Сolor

    Another critical factor to think about is the color of the ink or paint. In general, it’s not wise to use colors other than black, blue or silver for autographed items.

    These colors tend to show up best on a wide variety of backgrounds, and they also tend to be more fade resistant.

    Markers for Autographs FAQ

    What color ink is best for autographs?

    In general, it’s wise to stick with blue, black or silver when collecting autographs because these colors tend to show up best against a variety of backgrounds. Moreover, they tend to resist fading better than other colors.

    Should I use an ink marker or a paint marker when collecting autographs?

    Ink markers typically provide the best in reliability and function. You can nearly always trust them to start flowing as soon as the pen’s tip touches the surface. Paint pens can still be great, but they occasionally are subject to clumping or flow problems, which means you really have to know your marker so that you’re ready to collect an autograph. It may be necessary to prime your paint marker before you hand it to the celebrity who’ll be signing the autograph to avoid any awkwardness.

    Can autographs fade?

    If you use the right marker, then you’ll have little reason to fear fading. That’s because the ink and paint that are used in autograph markers are formulated to resist fading. To further protect your keepsake, be sure to protect your memorabilia from direct sunlight and to display it in a protective case or covering.

    Making the Decision

    When it comes to the best in functionality and reliability, you can’t go wrong with the Sharpie Fine Point Metallic Silver Permanent Marker. The ink dispensed by this pen is simply outstanding, and you can always trust this marker to get the ink flowing without hassle. The quick-drying ink also is a huge plus for autograph hounds.

    Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention our pick for the best markers for autographs if you prefer paint. Specifically, we recommend the Krylon Leafing Pen. Nothing beats the sheen of this paint, and this pen benefits from better, more reliable flow when compared with other paint pens.
