Autographed posters are a very touchy subject.
 
An autograph will reduce the value of a poster for any prospective buyer who does not collect autographs. This will become an even greater problem, when the autograph is personalized, like "to so and so" best wishes etc..
 
If you are not an autograph collector yourself, you are faced with another danger, that of buying a fake autographed poster, thus rendering it useless to the other segment of collectors.

Subject: [MOPO] AUTOGRAPHS ON POSTERS

do autographs on posters make them more valuable?   i believe that that autographs have the opposite effect.
 
i have not bid on posters with autographs that I otherwise would have bid.
 
presently on ebay, there is a gorgous autographed poster, although i want it in the insert size.... LINK:
 
 
a favorite film of mine is SHADOW OF A DOUBT.  i own the one sheet, and purchased the insert from bruce 3 weeks ago.  Yet, the full set on lobby cards from this firm keeps appearing, and reappearing, and reappearing for $2,000 with autographs.  never sells.....
 
i always see a bogart signed one sheet of THE DESPERATE HOURS for about 900.00.  it is only a 100.00 poster!!!!   it never sells. 
 
i have a neighbor who used to collect sports autographs.  he stopped.  too many fakes burnt him. 
 
YOU THOUGHTS ON AUTOGRAPHS ?????
