For Cyber Monday I took advantage of Topps' create a card service. I plan for my son and I to sign them before I hand them out as gifts. Is there a certain type of pen we should use so they don't smear or fade? Thanks!

Generally, the standard for signing cards is using a Sharpie. Just be careful if either of you are lefties, as the ink will smudge before it dries - but it does dry pretty fast.

Yup go with Sharpie, but blowntyhe ink dry or shake it to avoid smudging

Definitely a Sharpie, and as the others have said, be careful not to smudge it before the ink dries.  It's much easier to do than one might think.  Most of the Auto's in my collection (from packs, or gathered in person) are done with Sharpies, and even some of the "professional" autos got smeared (and the 3 I have can't all blame it on being lefties, because only 2 of them are, the other one apparently just wasn't careful enough or something).
