Fat silver, no? Now look at this:
The other day during a Gary Sanchez eBay search, I found
this and won it at a reasonable price. The silver is awesome. It’s very thin
and REALLY jumps off the card. It reminds me of the black wax paper we played
with as kids, where you took a sharp edge and drew in it, and there was an assortment of colors
underneath. The Topps Museum cards would have looked better if their pen was
closer to this one.
Good point. The Carlton card doesn't look good. The poor guy has to try squeezing his name in that little space. The Trout card looks all right but all he does is the "M" and the "T" in is name by the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteImagine Jarrod Saltalamacchia trying to fit his name in there. Yikes!
Yeah, the tip of the pen is just too thick. Silver autos are cool, I just don't like them all squeezed together.
DeleteSilver Sharpies are good for one, maybe two autographs. I'm not sure if that Gary Sanchez card was the first signed with that particular pen, or if whoever makes Onyx found something better to use.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The markers don't last long at all before getting all frayed.
DeleteAgree 100%! I tend to like my women thick, but my autographs thin. Although I wouldn't kick the Carlton out of my collection ;-)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA
DeleteThe Carlton card looks like my signature when I was first learning to write in cursive.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a nice second-grade cursiveness to it.
