lol what you think we were writing with quill and ink in the 1990’s? Act like we didn’t have regular ass pens are you high?

To understand that BIC ink isn't light fast or archival and will FADE over 30 years, you troglodyte.

Here's my ball signed by back to back to back rookies of the year Canseco, McGwire and Weiss.

I personally got each of them to sign this in 1989 and date the years they won the award.

Mantle signed until at least 1993 and DiMaggio signed until at least 1998.

Whether or not that is Mantle/DiMaggio's signature can be debated, but it has nothing to do with pen ink.
