Another example is, would you rather have a Nolan Ryan signed topps cars that is:

A. Signed but not TPA authenticated
B. Signed but authenticated and slabbed by a TPA
C. A Topps certified autograph (one you get in a pack of cards)

Your thoughts on this?
At the end of the day; we can't have 100% knowledge on if its real or not; but i feel like certified autos; pack pulled; are the closest we can get. Yeah there's been some outliers; but people are quick to figure those out; and i don't think they'd risk having fake autos in their product. Those are just my two cents though.
