Sharpie Color Question
I have two identical photos of the same actor, one signed in blue
sharpie, one in black, which will hold up better over time. I want to know because I'm going to list the other in Autographworld's Signature Piece auction. Thanks, Bob |

Sharpie Color Question
I think both will last many years after we are dead so it doesn't
matter (if stored correctly by the owner). It might be more a matter of personal preference.... I think most go for black. I prefer black; but doesn't matter all that much.

why do you want to list it in your own website auction?

Sharpie Color Question
Thanks Sue. I have had discussions with people who say black holds up
better but not sure if there is truth to it or just if its a preference. Personally I like Silver sharpies.......... |

Sharpie Color Question
Remember back in the past they used to have problems with black (it'd
turn yellow in spots and lighten). I think they've come a long way though with their formula. I know people who've had things even with the old stuff that is still holding up after 20 plus years. Other than the odd few collectors, most don't even think as responsible as you! On Fri, 6 Mar 2009 01:43:41 -0800 (PST), wrote: Thanks Sue.

Sharpie Color Question
I prefer blue.
It really looks nice. I have Def Leppard from an in person circa 1992, on a magazine centerfold. The autographs still look like they were signed yesterday by the band. no discoloration, and no wear on the mag. They still look great after 17 years! Yes-black has changed in recent years. I rely on it more now that i did 20 years ago. back then, black "Halo'd Yellow" after a year of sitting in the dark! (I.E index cards). Happy Hunting- pe2 |

Sharpie Color Question
I myself prefer blue sharpie. AsS I seen Sue had mentioned in a
previous e-mail Black (after about 7 years or so) sometimes the black tended to give a yellowish ring around the black ink. Of course I have lots of black sharpie items signed in my own personal collection, and all though I store my items in all archival safe products and keep them out of direct sun light I Have only had 1 photo get this yellowish ring. It was an items I had for sale..a Jasmine Guy.. Not sure what kind of a difference it made but it was not a glossy photo either. As it was one of those card stock photos. Nice to still see a lot fo familiar names in here... and on another note.. sad to see people still blasting others in a hobby we should all get along together in and help one another.

Sharpie Color Question
Ed, I wonder... if a photo and what quality it is might affect a
sharpie? I remember printing one off a PC to have Debbie Dunning sign in person. It was hot outside and when she touched the marker to the photo, the ink MELTED! I know there are different kinds of paper, ink, processes... it could be a reaction with the pen used if the writing lasts longer or not. I don't know but it's worth thinking about.
