Hey guys I got a weird question. What type of pen is best to get a baseball autographed with, or what type of pen you prefer?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Definitely ball point pen. Don't know if there's a specific brand that's better though. Never ever use a Sharpie or other type of marker because the ink will bleed into the leather over time.

Make sure you are getting an OMLB signed and not a walmart baseball. The signature will last longer on an OMLB

Blue is better than black?

I think it's personal preference. Most people (myself included) think blue ink looks better. I also agree with [MENTION=3848]TBTwinsFan[/MENTION] that you should go with an official MLB baseball. Looks nice! If you can't get your hands on one, at least use a ball that's real leather and not that faux-leather stuff.
Bic Crystal is what you want: Amazon.com: BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Blue, 10 Pens: Office Products
Always go blue. It looks better and it's worth more. No one wants a black auto.

Black just looks weird.

Black also tends to fade faster than the blue. It turns into a brownish, yellow color

This is the pen I use.
Also black will fade over time. Here are some examples.

Also only handle the ball when necessary and by the seems the oils from your hands will stain the ball and discolor it...
