“Most celebrities and athletes are taught not to do blue ink cause you can scan and forge the signature on other things and sell them,” one commenter wrote on Instagram, amassing nearly 4,000 “likes” on the comment.
Another commenter wrote, “1. Colored ink autographs get sold for far more money on eBay etc. Some celebs don’t want to support a secondary market/exploitation of their brand. 2. Sometimes legal documents require blue ink bc black is too easy to copy/reproduce so celebs are taught to only sign in black so it’s not easily transferred (same reason why many won’t sign blank white paper, to easy to transfer.)”
