EDITORIAL
PSA Q & A Question: Which type of writing instrument is preferred most by autograph collectors, pen or pencil?Answer: From an eye-appeal standpoint, collectors tend to like pens versus pencils since pens can generate a much darker and bolder signature. Pencil, however, does have some advantages. Autographs signed with pens can be subject to bleeding or fading much more so than with pencil signatures, which seem to hold up very well over time. It is best to talk to experienced collectors to see which writing instruments work best on different collectibles. For example, ballpoint pens are preferred on baseballs versus markers since markers tend to bleed into the leather.
