Seriously?....that makes absolutely no sense at all.
"Should there be a premium on patches? Grades?"
Obviously, if an auto card carries a patch also then the value increases due to aesthetics. This goes back to when patches were first used and sought after by everyone.
As for grades, if you understood that the true value of a card is ultimately it's condition, you would know that a card graded, by a reputable company, ensures the condition-based value of the card and therefore carries a premium. Otherwise you rely on the word of the other person's determination of condition. Usually inflated and incorrect.
Whether an auto is a sticker or an on-card makes no difference. An auto is an auto. PERIOD. I NEVER said an auto is JUST an auto.
