Dramatically narrow the audience for the card. Some folks (like me) collect autographed cards from favorite sets as a side line to the set itself. We would pay a premium for a vintage tough autograph. Most buyers of high end cards do not do so and if you are talking about a high grade card, you kill it with the autograph except for a very few collectors who would want the card signed. That said, where the new "product" of slabbing and grading autographed cards will take this is anyone's guess. I suspect that some collectors will accept high grade slabbed cards with authenticated autographs.
