Opinions needed on getting autograph graded

Hey guys,
I'm primarily a vintage collector, but I dabble some in a few of the annual Topps baseball offerings. Pulled a redemption on this 2020 Topps Archives card (serial # x/20) back in early September and got the card in hand a couple weeks ago. It's definitely the best pull I've ever had. Apologies for the dust on my scanner and scratches on the top loader. The surface is actually fine. The card is put away and not easily accessible at the moment. Otherwise, I'd show a better scan.
I'm eventually going to send this one in to get graded, for the sake of encapsulation. This will be a personal collection item, and I've already settled that with the card arriving with the corners as seen in the scan, this is likely an 8. No big deal...I'm just happy to have such a cool card. My question for the group though is if there is any wisdom in getting the autographs graded as well, under the Dual Grading service. Should I just settle for having the card graded and encapsulated? I'm leaning towards that.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd grade the autos as well. The autos on the card are on card and clean and should get a 10 which will definitely make the value higher than without the grade.
Thank you for your opinion, sir.
