either way is fine though. it is perfectly fine to look at value over aesthetics or completeness, and also perfectly fine to do it the other way around.
Not sure if I agree with the Ruth ball analogy. Apples and oranges. With both guys pictured on the card, it's begging for both to sign it.

Interesting discussion...

Is Frank's autograph that bad? I saw him sign some stuff last year at the HOF induction and it looked fine.
