I find items like Bats display nicer with an autograph. If I have a game used ball that I associate with a player I try to get that signed as well. I guess for the most part I prefer my game used Item with a signature. I am torn with vintage items but even there If possible I seek out a signiture.
Recently I bought a Sosa Bat with an auto for a 500/600 HR display and sought an auto version out because I knew that getting a non auto version signed would be difficult. Another example is Griffey Jr. I would lean hard toward a signed item vs not.
On the other hand I do try and get my items signed in person if possible I am not a fan of sending in high value items to "signings". I thought long and hard about sending a 500 HR ball to the national because I could have added 4 sig's But decided I would piece it together in person like the first 12 on the ball. So I like em signed and if possible in person. JMHO
PS: I too had high hopes for Mike Zunio but Seattle clearly bought him along way too fast
