If you look at past auction results at both Heritage and emovieposter almost 
all autographed posters and lobbies go for 2, 3 and sometimes 4 times the 
amount that an unsigned piece goes for. Perfect example is Heritage's Psycho 1 
sheet signed by 3 cast members went for almost 10k.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] the value of an autographed CARD or POSTER

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.
