What size/brand of marker do you use for IP sigs?

I'm going to the Bulldogs xmas party this week and will get a few things signed. What size/brand gives the best results? Mischa

Mischa, if its cards I swear by the Sharpie CD/DVD marker, all of my IP auto's are done with that pen and I am very happy with the results. For a jersey, I can't help as I haven't had any experience with that.

Thanks Dave, it's for cards. Anyone else have a recommendation?

I use whatever I can find, but nothing too thick. Usually just one of those artline permanent pens.

don't go too thin it looks awful

I always give my cards a light rub with a clean pencil eraser, it helps the auto to stick to the card better. Sharpie CD/DVD marker is perfect!!!!

giving the cards a rub with a soft pencil eraser is a VERY good idea, some cards such as the 2005 Power series (NRL) would not allow the pen to leave a clean pen stroke, looked like the player was signing thru water. Sharpie's are the best brand and I find the CD/DVD marker ever so slightly better than the standard sharpie only because it seems to smudge less / dry quicker. I will post a link to my IP auto bucket, all those cards were done with the CD/DVD marker I also use a fresh pen for each signing session, some players are a little heavy handed and I don't want to take a damaged nib from week to week.

I've got a Sharpie fine point (hopefully not too fine) and will post the pics up after the event in maildays section. Thanks to all for the input

Just an update. The sharpie copped a flogging!!! 46 sigs for the night and I left early as I had the kids in tow.
