Would You Get This Red Refractor Signed?

[DRav87]

Spencer Havner is suppose to be coming to town sometime this month for a signing and I was thinking about getting this card signed in a red sharpie.

Some people have told me it would look pretty sweet signed in a red sharpie, which I agree. However others have argued that it would ruin the value of the card. However this is a $10 card and will never be anything more, so there really isn't any "value" to ruin.

So what do you guys think?

It depends... Since he has been seldom used in games for the Packers, this red refractor might be worth something in the future. If you want it in your PC forever, then it would be neat to have it signed.

To be honest with you, I don't see a strong future for Havner, so I rather have it signed in person and cherish the moment.

YES!!! Once you get it signed with a red sharpie, it will look SICK!!!!

 

[andyduke86]

yes but don't use a red sharpie, use a blue sharpie or staedler and make sure you prep the card well.

Agreed.

Just do some testing first with other common chromes to make sure the auto won't bead up or anything. Not sure but I have heard of some type of eraser people go over the cards with for TTMs and stuff so the auto does not bleed.

 

[mstng99tim]

Don't listen to what ANDYDUKE86 said. The red auto will look sweet and there's no need to "prep" your card, other than maybe rubbing your finger over the area you want the auto at. The auto won't bleed on this surface. I have a Holmes Sterling card (exact same surface) that I got singed and it looks nice to me.

Don't get it signed. IT does nothing for the value of it. The Red refractor rookie unsigned would be worth more in the long run.

This card will never be worth anything more than $10 in the long run.

I am leaning toward getting it signed.

if you are not selling it, i would get it signed. i have a printing plate(1/1) signed and i think it looks great

I've seen some of the cards you've got signed, and they always look great. You've got a knack for using the right marker or something, because the autos are never bubbled/smudged, and show up clear as day.

Close the poll, get it signed, and show us when it's done

 

[tikitomoka]

get it signed, but you will have to prep it or it will turn out like crap. not sure why the holmes jersey signed alright, but that doesnt normally happen

Topps uses Staedtler Lumocolor on their chrome cards so I would advise using that after prepping, if you are going to do it which I would still advise against.

 

[jeff550]

go for it. you want to so do it, and then post the scan on how sweet it looks here

ah, im not familiar with baseball. i dont *think* they prep them, but im not for sure. i know some of panini's new products have on card autos that are bubbling a little (signed with staedtlers of course). i havent gotten an unprepped glossy card signed in-person with a staedtler one yet (only prepped ones), so i dont know for sure that they're gonna bubble but i strongly think they will

 

[mstng99tim]

Dear lord....let me say this AGAIN.......THERE IS NO PREP NEEDED!!! Want proof, here:

 

[CollectorsCorner]

lol do more do more

 

[mstng99tim]

No more are needed, I proved my point :lol:

 

[sffanmike25]

Very good examples Tim. Well done. :lol:
