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.

Not an autograph collector, but I have had some people tell me they prefer pencil for display pieces (flats logically) as there is little to no chance of fading as there is with ink. Perhaps, that is a very small segment of collectors per this thread.
