Ah ok

You know without this forum and knowledgeable members like yourself Ras

I'd probably use cheap frames and end up with washed out art in 5 years

Although probably wouldn't buy art in the first place

We give you one job

You'll learn this quickly about me Ras

I have a TERRIBLE memory lol

Ironically enough I did the same thing to twistedsymphony the other day

Of course he forgot about an auction he listed 5 years ago while the one I forgot was only a couple of months ago

Also, never get anything signed with a sharpie it will eventually fade, no amount UV protection will stop it, only slow it down.

I assume you have a preference for pen style/ink etc.

I remember reading about a dozen pages of a thread on a sports memorabilia forum where members suggested what exact pens they liked for signing specific stuff

Baseballs are apparently very hard to get the right pen for

I like pencil mostly, but Prismacolor markers are not bad.

Ah but what do you get signed mostly?

High Gloss Posters and Pencils are usually a no-no

Same with steelbooks, and a bunch of other things people get signed

But if it's paper you would choose pencil over pen?

I've never heard that before but again most of the discussion on this I know of was about sports memorabilia

Mostly I get screen prints, giclees, and lithgraphs signed and it is pencil all the way if the medium allows it. Pencil doesn't fade or bleed and lasts forever. Most artists sign prints in pencil for this reason.

But like you mentioned not everything can be signed in pencil so I just make sure that I get a pigmented marker/pen that is fade resistant and I'll use it for signatures. No sharpies.

On a side note, I wish I had the time to go up to the Philadelphia Comic Con at the end of the month but work is kicking my ass at the moment. Most of the Firefly cast is going to be there damn it! Only 3 hours away.
