There was a time when I would have said pack issued auto hands down. The reason was the certainty that the signature is good. Otherwise I am trusting a TPG to get it right. And as the years go by I have less trust esp on signatures that have as many forgeries in the marketplace as good ones, like Mantle and Williams.
Now counterfeit cards with forged auto's have appeared so on a number of cards Cards with holograms that were marketed as counterfeit proof. So for a casual autograph collector like me some cards need both.
As for preferance I prefer cards not in a case. But the marketplace seems to prefer cards in a case.
