[QUOTE="subzero, post: 499885, member: 9185"] Yeah standard marker pen is a big no, after it's dried and set in it turns pinkish / purple. Iv'e only used black ink on one vintage item and that's my resealed Battlecat box, it had a bad card tear on the front that I glued back down with pritt-stick but it still showed a very obvious tear line where the litho didn't fully meet up with where it was ripped from, so it kind of looked like a lightning streak of missing litho. I used a Stabilo fineliner on it and it looks almost perfect, and doesn't set pinkish. But of course that's still a no no if you want it 100% original, however iv'e found that after displaying something for long enough you kind of become blind to those slight little imperfections and stop noticing it after a while anyway.
