Greg, yes they are still doing the service your gretzky got. However, I believe all signed cards go through psa dna even if you just want the card graded and not the auto authentication because you got it in person. I think if someone sends a signed card to psa it will automatically go through psa dna and if the auto is deemed not authentic, they won't slab it even if all you wanted was the card to be graded.

Makes sense to do it that way, otherwise it would cause confusion among collectors who see the card slabbed and automatically think the auto is genuine.
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't grade an autograph unless the found it authentic.
