Which One Is The Keeper? (Signed T206 Wheat)

[T206Collector]

I recently became the lucky owner of Jeff Morey's old signed T206 Wheat, which Morey had consigned to Mastro about a decade ago. It is extremely clean. But, it lacks the color, character, and double signature that my first signed T206 Wheat has.

I am not planning on parting with either one any time soon, but in the event I wind up selling/trading one off in a future transaction, which one would you recommend that I hold on to and why? I used to think the answer was easy, based on card condition. But, I am no longer so sure...

Also, if you have any doubles about which you are conflicted, please post them here.

I like the second if I collect autos, just a much stronger sig.

Paul,

I would def take #2 the diamond cut:

it has 2 sigs stronger front / back/ unique card with the odd miscut...i feel the meduim is secondary to the subject!!

I think the initial plan of keeping both is the best idea. They both have their own admirable qualities and they are quite different.

I'd keep the first one, despite the stronger sigs on the second card. The back sig on the 2nd card is overshadowed by the damage.

I would keep the 1st
