Should i send out Trading cards to be signed?

[xsquatx]

Here, I recently started with sending trading cards.
If your cards are glossy and sharpie doesn't stick..
Throw on some baby powder, rub it across the WHOLE card (front only) and sweep all the excess baby powder off.
The talcum causes the sharpie to hold longer. So no need to have any baby powder on it.

Hope this helps you.

Because sharpie like doesnt stay on!


Any Ideas?????


Thank you!

glossy cards you have to use baby powder on to make stick
and in my experiances is the most athleats use ballpoint pen

All you have to do is put a bit of water on a clean soft dish cloth and rub the card surface fairly hard but not too hard then dry it and it takes the wax coating off and sharpies work just fine.

I have over 30,000 autographed cards and I use either baby powder or an eraser. I prefer an eraser. Baby powder tends to get into your sharpie with doing in-person and ruins the marker if you don't get all the powder off the card.

I generally send out older cards that don't have all of the gloss. Some brands of newer cards aren't glossy either. You'll make out better sending those.
