Silver Linings

I’ve noticed a lot of silver autos on cards lately. I’ve also noticed that a really fat, chubby marker was used, and the signatures look crappy. Take in point the cards below (I don't own these cards):

Fat silver, no? Now look at this:

The other day during a Gary Sanchez eBay search, I found this and won it at a reasonable price. The silver is awesome. It’s very thin and REALLY jumps off the card. It reminds me of the black wax paper we played with as kids, where you took a sharp edge and drew in it, and there was an assortment of colors underneath. The Topps Museum cards would have looked better if their pen was closer to this one.
