But for really old autographs you are usually getting what you see.

That's just me, but I understand how some prefer pencil.
I actually love ball point signatures. But, if I had a choice between a sharpie or a pencil on a paper item (not glossy, or a photo) I would prefer the pencil. And oddly enough, I usually do have a pencil handy.
