The reason I said they might refuse a blue sharpie is because I've seen posts where the celeb has reportedly said, "No blue." What that means is that some celebs assume that if you carry a blue sharpie, then you are a potential dealer. I've never had a problem (yet) but I always carry a black sharpie just in case.
I only mentioned blue because it is my personal prefference. Although it really doesn't matter, most facsimile signatures are in black, so I like getting an item signed in blue. Besides, I've heard it said that blue generally lasts longer than black. I have no idea if that is true or not. I've also heard and read that with a black Sharpie there is the odd chance that the yellow dye could leak out a little over time and leave the signature with a bit of an odd-looking halo. Don't know if that's true or not either. But there you go, now you know everything I know. I think.
