Yes for sure

I've never really been a huge auto guy, and this kind of thing is a good example of why.

Left arm of God or not, that's a ridiculous amount of money to expect to be dropped on an auto. I would wager that you can get a better conditioned '55 Topps Koufax already slabbed with the auto if you really want that and wait it out - eBay or AH or whatever - than if you buy one yourself, and go through that process. That plus it's true his auto is possibly deteriorating. Hank Aaron's that he signed near the end you can really tell. Some of them IMO look outright awful.
