Those are all very good answers, you need to stay away from the glossy cards. I.E. most any type of bowman. The A&G cards are definately coolest for autos, and Im sure you can find anyone you need for trade on this board. The Goodwins, Goudeys and Topps Heritage also all make for great autos. None have that gloss that prevents sharpie from sticking well, hence smudging easily. Obviously if you do have glossy cards of a player they need to be powdered well or rubbed with an eraser before an auto is attempted. The issue with goodwin and A&G is they arent only baseball, you probably have an easier chance of getting all the baseball players out of heritage. Another thing to consider is several brands start producing 2011 cards early in the year. By the time spring training comes, the 2011 cards that were released in feb will be out. With all the off season trades there is a better chance that the player you seeing at ST actually on the right teams card in the newer sets. Dont know any release dates off hand, but already seeing presales on various websites, so Im sure they'll be out before ST.
