Lots of people don't avoid pencil, especially when it comes to very rare, obscure vintage players. Sometimes, you don't have much of a choice if you don't want to go another 20-30 years before even seeing another example which may or may not be more attractive.
Personally, pencil has never, ever been a deterrent if I am interested in a piece. If I'm confident in its authenticity, then I'm fine with pencil, provided that a pencil autograph would work for me in that instance. Would much rather have something signed in pencil than in taped-over ink.
