When it comes to PSA labels is there a premium for/do you guys prefer:

1. PSA labels that say trading card vs the actual card (ex: “trading card” vs 1983 topps #498 Wade Boggs)

2. PSA labels that grade the autograph vs not (ex: label says GEM MT 10 vs a label that doesn’t have an autograph grade)

3. Is there any preference between old PSA labels (the old blue labels) vs the newer PSA labels (the newer blue labels)

Thanks

You probably know this but for those who do not.

PSA is a card grading service that can also grade the autograph

PSA/DNA is an autograph authentication service, so it does not assess the card.

Same brand, two different services. For signed cards, the former is generally more desirable.

I go to school close to a spring training ground, and often go graphing during the season. Personally I don't like to get cards signed, because if it's a big player, that card is getting destroyed. I much prefer collecting a bunch of sigs on a single ball. That's just me though.
