Re: Autographs on new cards

Baby powder is good, a good eraser swiped a few times over the gloss works, and I read today that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser used lightly takes down the gloss so sharpie stays put. Just don't rub too much or too heavily.

Ya i agree with what tedw is saying baby powder is a good eraser and i would recommend you that you should go for it..

Thanks Helen. Robin was a great person today I was able to talk to him for about 20 minutes. We talked about racing and about his son Dustin who also played pro ball. He signed a few things for me like a game used bat, ball, and the Perez Steele card. Not every day you get to meet one of your heroes growing up.

Does baby powder work on those Perez Steele cards or the yellow HOF cards? I want to thank everyone who has left an answer to my question, keep them coming.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Rub them with baby powder

This one was sugegsted back in the 1980s when I was writing Up Autograph Alley for SCD. It works, but you would have been surprised at how many collectors back then (all males) pooh-poohed the idea for being too "girly". As far as I'm concerned, if it works, it's a good idea. I wonder if any of these macho types have lightened up by 2009?

Pantyhose work well if you rub awhile.

You also need to use a nice good regular size sharpie.
