Opinions needed on old auto cards..

In your opinion is it better to have:

1) psa/dna authentic

2) psa/dna auto grade

3) card grade psa/dna

4) card grade and auto grade (JSA, bgs)

for example a 1981 montana, 1978 dorsett, etc

Well... if you're talking about a 1978 Dorsett or a 1981 Montana.........




I used to own these and the only reason I had a grade with the Dorsett is because it was such a nice card. Most cards that are signed are not 8's or 9's - so, I prefer to have "Authentic" only instead of a PSA-6 or such. I have never been a fan of "Autograph Grades" either... but some people are and some items sell higher with high grades.

Personally I do different things for different cards.

The majority of my cards I do option 3 (it's important for me to know both the card and auto are legit). I will sometimes do option 2 if the card is in really bad shape or a newer card in PSA 5 type shape that has a strong auto. For example I just subbed some 1983 Topps Sandberg's with strong autographs.

It does seem that alot of the PSA/DNA cards are not 8's like the Dorsett above, but 5's or less, which is a little discouraging. I would prefer to have a Joe Montana thet would grade high and have a nice auto, but that does not seem to be the norm.

I prefer PSA/DNA Authentic in the red flips:
