Color for Lumocolor sharpies?

[nyyankeesfan.13722]

I found a website that sells them and now I am going to buy a few. http://www.artsuppliesonline.com/catalo ... a_id=12556
First off though I would like to know what color to buy. It seems like at all the games I goto people always use blue. Is that because it signs better or is it because it looks better? Second is does anybody know about how long 1 will last for? Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah fine point is the best for getting cards signed right?

Yep.

No! Medium point is truly the best. Fine is a little too thin and I have had a medium since last year and not one auto has come out bubbly. Trust me, I go to a lot of games.

I use different colors on different cards, IP. I'll put up a few examples.

Glossy blue or black will hold the best, on something like Razor or Topps Heritage or A&G you can use Green and Red As well.

just go to office depot and pick up a pack. i bought a 4 pack of the staedler lumicolor w/ blue, black, red, and green in a plastic case for $4.00 there.

Yeah, I got the 8 pack at Staples. Never hurts having a bunch available.

Are those fine or medium sized pens on those cards?

i am planning on getting a few signed cards ip on tuesday, including razor, razor plate, bowman chrome, tristar. I tried practicing with the 4 pack in the plastic case which i have. It seems the blue just doesn't look as good as a nice blue sharpie. Its like you can't see it. I haven't tried with razor cards or anything else

I like Red the best, with blue right behind. I'm eventually going to get some in purple.

I like the thin ones, just not on chromes. Also, I've come to love blue on chromes, just because it stands out over the sig on the card.

do u have to eraser/baby powder the chromes even if u use the lumocolor pens? and the mediums are good for chrome right?
