It really depends on the poster and who signs it. I have a couple of vintage posters signed by people that definitely increase the value but if it’s a lesser cast member on it I could see it damaging the value of the more sought after vintage posters.
True that Malcolm signs everything but I don’t think his signature would really decrease the value of the ACO poster as he’s signed a lot of them and the price would pretty much be around the same as if the poster wasn’t signed. Only the Pelham designs would really by hurt by adding a signature. All the best. Sincerely, Paul W.
