I think it has to do with how people store or display their collection. Personally I would prefer an autograph, or a relic from prior to 2005. The reasoning for this is specifically due to how thick the card is, as I like to put my cards into binders. I know other collectors that do not use binders and store their cards in one-touch holders. And for those types, card thickness is of no concern as long as a holder exists that the card can be put into.
