Im sure guys on here who collect autographs will have more info, but my take is this:
Vintage signatures are almost ALWAYS more desirable on CERTAIN players, especially those who have high demand, and signature changed, and did a lot of show signings.
The obvious examples are Mickey mantle, and Joe Dimaggio, esp Mickey. Vintage style stuff is much harder to come by, and usually valued a lot more. Joe D, the same, just not as much maybe. The item obviously would be "vintage too" if it was vintage signed etc, w a pen, etc.
common HOFers and players, I dont think it makes all that much difference, as to vintage time. And, obviously, rare or VERY sought after signs like Gehrig, Ruth, Cobb, etc, there isnt as much variation in price from early in their careers to late in life.
