Baby Powder on Chrome cards?

Jakpi20 · Aug 17, 2008

I was told by my brother that applying a little bit of baby powder to a chrome card will make it better for autographs, can anyone confirm this or explain it for me a little better? There are a few players that obviously there only card is a chrome card and I have had two that gotta kinda faded. Thanks for any help here

Use baby powder on any glossy surfaced card, including the chrome cards. It gets some of the gloss off and helps the signature adhere. Chrome look great signed, too.

I have several chrome cards signed, all were rubbed with a little baby powder and it works great. Some people also say they prefer using a white eraser but I never had much success that way.

How much would you say you put on? Like a pinch full and rub it with a tissue? Your fingers? Thanks for your help guys and please pardon my ignorance

Sprinkle a little on and rub it in with your finger tips. I would think a "pinch" would do. Why do I feel like I'm getting ready to bake a cake?

Lol, thanks for the help and if you could put Chocolate frosting on top that would be great, thanks!

If you're getting autos IP, and if you want to be lazy and not rub down a ton of cards, get a Staedtler Lumocolor. Absolutely no prep-work needed!

They carry them at Dick Blick if you have one nearby.
