Howdy y'all, While I bow to the general wisdom and market history, I have always felt that any additional signatures to any poster ... actually mars / deters rather than enhances. Given an opportunity to acquire a poster without signature / autograph vs. with signature / autograph, I would always elect to acquire the 'naked' paper. Diff strokes and all that ... ad

Perfect example is Heritage's Psycho 1 sheet signed by 3 cast members went for almost 10k.

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? michael Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
