Autographs on a Game Used Jersey?

[Good Eye Sports]

Goodeyesports as I mentioned to bulbus I am not a big fan of the silver marker on a jersey bcuz over time the autograph will fade and there goes your money out the window.

I spoke with PSA/DNA about this a while back with the same concerns and they suggested I use a certain type of Stratford silver paint pen, but I couldn't find the right size so I purchased a Pilot medium point. Had only a couple of opportunities to use it but so far so good.

They told me never to use silver Sharpies as they fade over time.

Hope this helps

Spezio I would like to say to you - Do not use a black pen / marker as those fade the fastest it has been a fact, the best one proven to be used is either a blue sharpie or a Permanent Laundry marker. As far as DCcollects - you bring up a very good point about it might be better to get a Game Issued autographed as opposed to a Game Used. Goodeyesports yeah I can definitely understand about the Silver Sharpie would be bad bcuz it is water based, a paint marker is oil based.

I enjoy wearing my gamers and they are mostly hockey. I like to enjoy them and show them off a little bit. Why have them if you cannot show them off? What good does a game used jersey do in a dark closet only seeing the light of day to get an autograph on it? None of them are superstar jerseys, if one was, you can bet I would not wear it out, it woauld be hanging on my wall along with the others

When I do wear them out, I for sure do not eat or drink in them or break a sweat in it for that matter. Any by chance if something did happen to it? I would wash it, just like the team had done many times before.

As with any autograph, unless you saw the player sign it, how can you be 100% positive it is real? Bottom line is you can't. COA, LOA, hologram or whatever, anything can be faked. Will I ever get any of my gamers autographed? Never say never, some autos can look very nice. As said before, a lot depends on what the players auto looks like.

To finish, Spiezio23, I know it is all about personal preference, but game used, pre-season, spring training or authentic, I can never see getting a jersey with that many autographs on it, not attractive at all

[Spiezio23]

Why did I get the spring training jersey signed, because it was used but there was absolutely no way of tying it to any certain player or players. It really doesn't have much value even if used, without any player association. Many of the players that have signed it have thought it to be very cool. Would I get a jersey assigned to a specific player(name and number) signed by a team or various players through many years as that one is? The answer would most likely be no.


I have to ask though, with the recent debacle of Full Disclosure, has anyone here removed an auto from a gamer? If you did and then later sold it, was that disclosed? If you had worn it, did you tell the next person who bought it?

[Spiezio23]

I guess I could have added this in my last post.

Does anyone have a list of the specific brands of pens that are known to work well and not fade on jerseys?

I usually get them signed on the jersey fabric in between the numbers instead of on the numbers if that makes a difference.

Spezio as I stated before my best prefence would be a blue sharpie or a permanent laundry marker.

If you use a sharpie make sure it is not one of the new colors as those don't last the same and don't look right!!!

I never use black after long time black either fades or turns a brownish color

In my opinion, I always think autographed game worn jerseys bring the value up. Also, the best place to me to get an autograph on a jersey would have to be on the number on the back.
