Best pen for autographs on a football?


Montsta

Recommended Posts

So as I've stated in the Panthers forum, I'm going to the AZ game on 9/11. I have a ball in a case right now that has John Fox, Jake, Peppers, Buckner, Jenkins, Rucker, and Minters sigs on it from when they played in SF years ago. The sigs were all done in black sharpie and some look just a little faded now on the ball. So my question to you guys is two part I guess, First off, should I buy a new football to get signed instead of bringing the old one, and what kind of pen should I use? I was looking at a Uni medium point silver paint pen, thought that might stand the test of time a little better than the sharpie did.

Jasonluckydog I'm looking at you, I know you got a boat load of autographs.

The silver paint pen would probably be your best bet. Is it a white panel football? If that's the case, a black paint pen would be the best.

Also, the fading from the other football my have to do with the case itself. If it's not a case that protects from UV lighting, that may have caused the signatures to fade...

I got the other one in a regular display case, so maybe that is what's wrong. You can still see them, but I fear that in a few years they'll be gone. And the football is a regular NFL authentic football. I think i'm gonna go the paint pen route, it'll be tough for that silver to fade. Hopefully it doesn't chip off.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
