PSA Rookie Graph?

PSA offers the rookie graph verification service that signifies an item was autographed prior to a player's 2nd year. (http://www.psacard.com/Services/Rookie/)

Does having this label make an item more valuable? How would the value of this verification compare to a non-rookie graph item with an inscription? 

I was wondering because I have 2 Kris Bryant signed balls. I received the first during the 2013 AZ Fall League and had it authenticated with the rookie graph verification. I got my second ball this spring training with the inscription "#2 pick" and was curious which of the two is more valuable

In my opinion, PSA needs to knock it off with the gimmicks and focus on cleaning up other aspects of their business.

To answer your question, I'm sure that there's someone who thinks that title is worth more. Personally, I don't think that a PSA magic wand makes anything more valuable, including special wording.  If a player signs more nicely earlier in their career, that's something you'll be able to see for yourself.  

I'd rather have the extra inscription any day than the PSA gimmick.
