Is there such a thing? Thanks - Dale
Wouldnt a sharpie be the best option??? Thats what ive gotten my ips with
Sharpie will be fine once you rub down the surface. I use a light coating of baby powder, rub it across the surface, and wipe it off with a cloth. The process somehow allows the ink to adhere to the card without beading. If I happen to be without baby powder I find that a fleece or as a last resort denim still works, where I rub the surface until it starts to warm.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
I use the same pen Topps uses to get their chromes signed: Blue Staedtler Lumocolor fine point:
