I love modern autos, not a fan of relic cards at all. There's just so damn much of it and they make a ton of money on it creating a false sense of scarcity.
Autographs on the other hand--huge fan, always will be. There's just something 'sexy' about an autograph--even for non collectors. I tend to pair all of my vintage rookies with a nice looking certified autograph (Frank Robinson's Fleer GOTG Auto for only 15 bucks, doesn't get better!).
I don't like what Topps has been doing the last few years with a lot of their high end sets. Even the high end sets all share the same, tired Photoshop filtered look that just doesn't jive well with me.
That being said--I collect modern Chrome autos like crazy and love the Museum Collection Framed Autographs. Just great looking cards.
