I can't stand autos on cards. Autos over face. Ick. Autos written bottom to top so I have to turn my head side ways. Horrible. Autos on dark background so you can't see the auto. Bleh.
So, if an auto is on a card, I'd rather have a crappy card with a great auto.
It's all about presentation.
The 89 Griffey card is one that I hate with autos. So many black sharpies disappear into the background. Some guys are now using teal paint pens. It looks way better that way. But if we're talking straight black sharpie, or ball point pen, the 89 Topps Traded Griffey Jr is the RC auto I would prefer to have. I better be able to see that cursive.
