Depends on the athlete and the demand. Some athletes like Tom Brady or Tim Duncan very rarely sign for card companies at all, so the cards with autos out there are pretty high in value and probably will continue to stay that way unless they start signing. Others like Peyton Manning sign tons of cards so his auto cards are depressed even though he's a big star. The short print cards will get value because there are some player set collectors that absolutely must get every card for a player. I agree with all of the parallels when a short print doesn't really seem like short print because it's just the same card but in a different color or something like that.
