In terms of quality, I prefer the second - his DecColor paint pen is not struggling as much so more ink & likely stronger contrast. It is a slightly smaller signature, but more fluid as well. On the first one, I might find that the tip of the "R" that crosses over the shaft of white light entering the prism to be distracting. The second jumps out at you in a good way - the autograph sits very well. If you wait a while you might do better on price if a decent offer is not accepted - he has been signing a LOT.
