I've only ever gotten my figures signed using DecoColor broad point paint markers. I've used the Fine Point ones before, but it almost doesn't make a difference.

Thanks where can i get those at Hobby Lobby maybe, but unlikely. If you have a real art supplies store, that would be better. Or buy them in large packs on Amazon or singles on eBay. |

Paint! Make sure to use paint pens. Like LuisTX said, DecoColor is good, but any paint pen will do.
One thing you don't want is to use Sharpies. When I first started going to conventions and collecting autographs, I wouldn't take a pen and would let the celebrity sign with whatever they had on hand. It would always be a Sharpie. Now several of the signatures are faded.

Definitely use a deco paint market. See if Michaels or ac Moore has them.
What kind of signing is it? If you have to pay then as long as you pay for them to they'll sign as much as you want

Oil based sharpie paint pens are the way to go. I always use them. Best part is that they don't fade.

Ok cool guys. Another question do they always let you give them a marker or do they have to use theirs Trish Strauts once told me she was impressed that I had my own marker ready cause most do not. I've never had anyone not use my marker, but what you will have, especially at a non-WWE signing is they may not be paying fully attention to you. For example, Flair was talking to someone next to him and started signing my Horsemen 4-pack with a black sharpie, even though I immediately had my paint marker uncapped and tried to hand to him, he just wasn't paying attention. When he finally noticed, he blamed it on me for "not being ready." I didn't even say anything, he just very nicely went over what he had already wrote in black and came out good. But definitely have the marker shooken well, test it out on something first if you can, and have it uncapped for them to use, and ask if they'll sign using your marker. You can look at my collection of signed MOC to see what I'm talking about that have all been signed with DecoColor paint markers: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/327361/collection-signed-mattel-mocs |

At conventions, you're usually paying per item so you'll have to buy multiple autograph tickets. At WWE signings, they're usually pretty strict about 1 item. |

I use sharpie oil markers. They usually come out great and don't fade. Red looks the best for a fig imo.

I'm a big fan of the Sharpie Paint Pens. I've found them at both Walmart and SOME Walgreens...... This isn't a great photo, but I recently had Jim Ross sign a JAKKS Classic in red, I'm really happy with the way this looks....  Just look for the Sharpie PAINT PENS, not regular sharpies..... I usually try to stick with the water based ones. I think I have one or two that are oil based. When I'm in doubt about the color - White almost ALWAYS looks good. Try to have the pen open & primed for them...... here's a short video of the time that I had Ron Simmons using one & it leaked all over the photo.... |

He's the only person I've seen do that. Everyone is very cool about it. I was having the Bella Twins sign my WM25 poster in a silver sharpie, Nikki signed first, and Brie started signing with her own black sharpie, and Nikki got on her case right away and said I wanted it signed in silver. And when I say got on her case, I mean like in a sisterly way, like they do on Total Divas, so that was cool to see that interaction. |
