    Awesome card of one of my favorite modern baseball players.

    But am I the only one who doesn't like autographs on cards that already have a facsimile auto on them?

    I'm curious how others, especially our resident auto hounds, feel on this topic.

    IMO, it all depends where the autograph is placed and how much their signature has changed.

    Here is the other PSA/DNA 10:

    I'm glad you said it, because I too have a big problem with that. Over the past 2 years I've been to quite a few signings and dabbled in TTM, and I never choose a card that already has a facsimile. When I was choosing which vintage card to have Yaz sign, I actually passed up other cards solely because of the facsimile. No, you're note alone.

    I am with you two. I like the card to have just one autograph on it.

    Two autographs def come across as too cluttered. Especially with not much surface area to work with..too crowded.

    Even a mantle card with a facsimile signature, i wouldn't want him to sign it again if I had a choice.
    Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all. image

    About 10 years a go @ the Cleveland National years a go I purchased a signed 1980 WBTV Charlotte O's (Blue Border) for $500. I was actually shown 2 of them by 2 different people. I resold it the next day for $700 to another dealer. Should of kept it!

    Best regards!

    I completely agree. I collect autos and I collect cards but not together. I would prefer to have that Ripken in a PSA 10 holder sans the auto and display it next to an autographed 16x20 picture of a meaningful moment in Ripken's career.


    Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.
