It’s usually a stupid decision to do a dual grade on autos to be honest. More than not with vintage and fairly often with modern.
If you think logically the value unless the card is in excellent condition lies in the auto. As long as the card is authentic it is fine and an auto on the players rc or whatever. The long term collectors remember that a signature devalued the worth of the card, so often we would select the worst examples in our collection to be signed.
Modern buyers want a 10 card with a 10 signature. If the card grades low and the signature grades high, the sale price tends to come in lower than a Auth card with a 9/10 sig. this is just what collectors want.
It’s wasted investment to grade a poor condition card to just lower the sale value. As for the comment as to labeling it “trading card”, well that’s exactly the way to find a fake that seems to be the worry here. “Trading card” is usually reserved for replica, non-licensed and reprint cards or fantasy created items that were signed.
