Isnt there is a whole school of thought that considers an inscription or autograph on a poster almost like a kind of graffiti? they say it detracts from a piece and lessens its value (production stills or head shots are another animal, altogether, and im not referring to them here).

best.

just like the debates of LINEN vs, UNBACKED affecting values, another debate is:

DOES AN AUTOGRAPH ADD VALUE TO AN ITEM?

most say, YES. MANY PAY SUPER-HIGH PREMIUM AMOUNTS for autographed posters/cards.

am i in the minority or majority that prefer a poster not to have an autograph? if an autograph is "To Elmo from Bette Davis", and my name isn't Elmo.......

if a poster is in poor condition, but autographed, would it fetch more than a VF grade?


thoughts?
