I would like your opinion...

I personally like them both. I have a few autographed cards, but all of the cards are of Brooks Robinson (have other signed pieces, but not on cards). I don't really actively search for autographed cards, but if I see one I like I will pick it up. I do prefer them signed in pen and in an aesthetically pleasing placement. With Brooksie's signature sometimes it is hard to do unless it's an early one. On his particular cards the item is typically far less to purchase than the unsigned version.

I think either way is cool, but as many said collect what you like. I personally just collect for a hobby, so really not too interested in the resale value.

I feel much the same. It is a hobby for me plain and simple. A nice diversion after a tough day at work. ...
