What type of pen for Game Used Jersey?

[pirates09]

I have a couple of game used jerseys I plan to get signed on the number panel on the back of jersey...what is the best 'pen' to use? Thanks!

Re: What type of pen for Game Used Jersey?

I just had a Cliff Lee Phillies jersey signed on the number and used a thin silver Deco Color paint pen. I used the suggestion of another member who had posted photos of the silver autograph and I have had other items signed and I have to say that this is the best silver pen for autographs. They are not as easy to find and I went to many different office supply stores and craft stores and finally found them at AC Moore.

I also had a few photos signed that day using the pen and am very happy with the results--nice and bold!

Have used or seen the Deco Color paint pen on hats, bats, jerseys and helmets and it has turned out great every time. I have used silver on my Cincinnati Reds numbers which are red and it turns out great.

Tough to find, but well worth it. Also can search them out online if you aren't crunched for time.

Can anyone show a picture of one of these Deco paint pens. If you still have the package for it list a pictures of that as well.

I used the size of the 3rd one down...I also bought the 4th one down and did not like how the test ones were coming out....

Michaels Craft Shop if you have one of them near you.

I went to three Michaels and none carried them...they show them online but the stores in the central nj and Philly area do not carry them...

Use a fine Deco paint pen. Extra fine is too thin and broad is too thick.

This is what they look like...



Michaels no longer carries them (some Michaels may have a few left). I order mine through www.markersupply.com
They are cheap and ship pretty fast.

After you use them, make sure you give the signature time to dry or it will smudge.

I found Marvy Deco Color liquid silver opaque paint marker (fine line)...is this correct?

I bought a black one too but it didn't mention liquid paint.

Thanks for the help.

Pilot silver marker medium point works well especially on bats.

Well sharpie started selling paint markers and they work pretty well.
They have them in Silver and gold
They work exactly like the Deco ones

Re: What type of pen for Game Used Jersey?

I figured I'd piggyback on this question, and I have this before. But wanted to know about a different color. What is the best pen to use on a wool flannel? I used a blue sharpie on a gray flannel and it turned our nice. But I have a cream flannel this time and wanted to use a black or orange sharpie. Has anyone used a black or orange on a cream flannel? Do those colors fade? Are the any other pen that would work? Or is the blue sharpie the best?
Thanks

For a UNC Game-worn jersey like the picture shown, which marker would be best for signing? And would a normal Sharpie be fine?

I am also trying to figure out if a signature on the white number on the backside would come out good or if I should try sharpie on the front on the carolina blue part of the jersey off to the side. What do you all think?

Re: What type of pen for Game Used Jersey?

I will ONLY use DECO paint pens on jerseys. Sharpies always seem to bleed, and other paint pens have never worked as well for me as DECO has.

I just sold this jersey, but this is what the silver DECO Fine tip looks like:


Here is one in Black Fine Tip DECO

I have used Sharpie paint pens in the past and they have sucked every time. I have a Nolan Ryan sig that I will have to replace because I used a Sharpie paint pen. You couldnt pay me to use one again.
