What's the difference? Encased versus Graded Cards?

So there is a difference between the two. The encased card is best described as uncirculated. After manufacture it was encased and sealed. So theoretically no human hands have touched it.

Now, as for graded cards. Those are either sent to the grading professionals (PSA or BGS among other lesser known ones). 

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. James

What are the different Sports Cards Autographs Types?

There are different types of autographs in widely sold and circulated cards from major card companies such as Upper Deck, Score, Bowman, Topps, and many others.

There are what are known as "cut" autographs. They are taken from a legal instrument (document like a check or contract) and are literally cut out.  They can also be signed on like a basketball or football or even a baseball and then cut from there and put on a sports card. 

Live, those are live signed on card autographs.

Collecting autographs is a great way to invest for the future, or just to remember the days of old. 

For nostalgia sake, there are plenty of older players who were semi-stars, whose autographs are affordable now. Now if you're looking for a Michael Jordan or Joe Montana or other superstars autographs, well, they're not going to come cheap. But if you display them correctly, modestly, you can incorporate the less expensive autographs with cards of the superstars surrounding them. Anyway, hope I've helped in some way for anyone who may have been curious. If you have more to add, feel free to in the comments below. Thanks James
