I haven't had that problem with my on-card autographs. Baseballs signed in sharpie do bleed though.

I've seen it happen with cards with high gloss. A lot of times if I'm getting a modern card signed I'll use a dry erasure on it before signing to buff off some of the gloss.

Prefer pen on balls and cards. Sharpie for the rest.

On vintage cards, GPC's & index cards, fountain pen when possible or ball point pen.

On photos, tickets or other modern pieces Sharpie (usually blue, but sometimes black)

Sharpie is an abomination.
Fountain pen for vintage, ballpoint for contemporary.
