If the item media is similar, and in similar condition, I will take the vintage signature 100% of the time. Especially if it is a playing career signature.
When you are talking about players from the 1950's and back who lived into the 1980's (at least), playing career signatures, especially singles, are simply much scarcer than latter day autographs.
They may not be as aesthetically pleasing sometimes, but I will always pay a premium for a nice vintage signature as opposed to a nice recently signed item.
