Why are pencil autographs from the pre-1950s era so disrespected by collectors?
I collect Dodger autographs (mostly Jackie and Campy). The market clearly values vintage autographs in ink. Yet, pencil autographs, with some exceptions, of course, do not seem to fade, and nothing symbolizes the era more to this old guy than pencil autographs. Why is a higher value given to a penned autograph?
