I think it depends entirely on the authenticity of the autograph, the signer, and the invididual poster involved.
We had a Fred Astaire signed half sheet from TOP HAT and the signature definitely did not devalue that poster. But I think mopoers who have advised against this have a point. Signed Audrey Hepburn one sheet from TIFFANY'S anyone? I'll take that. Kirby Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O.
