I suspect that (once again) you could point to e**y and the repro artist/fakers that swamp it with cheapening autographs on posters. After seeing the hundreds, if not thousands, of "cast signed" posters stinking up the joint, you can't really fault buyers for being a little leery of even the real thing.

I generally agree with you that an autograph can really enhance a poster -- that said, there are some poster collectors that just wouldn't like it. I guess the answer is, it depends on the poster collector and their interest in autographs. To me, having the additional autograph of the major star/director would be a plus. For example, an original Vertigo poster, signed by Hitchcock, Stewart and Novak would never leave this house (or as Charlton Heston said, "my cold dead hands")!
