Mike,
The basic answer is yes. It would be more, but how much is more difficult gauge. The answer to this question widely varies depending upon multiple variables.
1) Who is the signature? A Babe Ruth "Rookie" era signature might very well command a premium, whereas if it were Bob Veale(sorry Bob), not so much.
2)What is signed? A signed 1952 Topps Mantle with a c1952 sig would likely command a significant premium over a modern signed one in sharpie.
3) How much are you willing to pay? If you're looking to put together a collection of autos, like a whole team, and you only want sigs from that time frame, you'll likely be willing to pay more for it.

Best,
Mark
