First timer autograph help needed

[Klrdds]

Fine or medium will work well with the size of the card , I always used new medium Sharpies because the point will stay pointed for a dozen or so signatures. Get several so you can change to a new Sharpie when you want or need to in order to keep the points fresh / pointed for the best quality of the signatures.

I got the 2023 ones today. With as black as they are I am thinking a silver sharpie might be my best bet.

Top row is last year and bottom row are this years.

[Klrdds]

Yes I agree

I would go with the medium point. I would avoid the fine point on those cards. I would find a different silver pen than the the silver sharpie. Do you know how the meet and greet is set-up? I would worry about those guys crushing the card. I got this idea from a collector friend. He took some foam board about standard page size and adhered four photo corners for the card/photo to house the card/photo. Easy load and unload,. This way the signer can hold the board and sign with the free hand. No need to find a hard surface or handle the card. You could make a larger board to house more cards.

Since it sounds like you are getting multiples of the same guest. Create a page for each guest and just knockout each guest in one swoop.

Not sure how it is set up. I do know it is at the end of the 2 day contest. So as cool as the thing in the link is it will not work. I am going to have to carry the cards on me all day long or at least most of it. There is a cool strongman expo in the morning and then the contest starts around 1pm with the M&G being around 7pm.

There are 3 days of the strongman expo with the 2 day strongman contest. Hoping between the expo and the M&G to get most/all the guys to sign their card(s).

I am going shopping tomorrow so will see what markers are available here and sacrifice a card for the cause.

No, just clear small bags.
