buy both

It was for my PC I would go with Graded mainly because FRobbys autos in sharpie are not that attractive. Too many letters crammed into a tiny area with a thick pen. If I was looking for investment then I would say auto. That one will defenitely go up when he is not available to sign anymore. jusy my .02 but I could be wrong.

Good idea for a poll. I tend to differentiate cards and cards with autos/memorabilia more than other folks.

People tend not to call cards with autos "cards"...people call them autos. People tend not to call cards with GU "cards" either...people call them GU. I value the card *without* the auto and/or GU more because I primarily collect cards and not autos or memorabilia. I always thought cards were always meant to be 'simple pleasures'.

Although cards with autos/GU are very interesting, they can easily be seen as substitutes for full memorabilia and/or autos. Almost always, an auto of the player can be found on a baseball, photo or cut and these usually display more impressively than on a card. Even full jerseys and memorabilia of most players are available today, and again I've always thought these more impressive than GU on cards.
