it all depends on your motivation for collecting inthe 1st place..Ifits
pure reason is money then yes dont read the comics. or look at theposter
and putin a vault geta time machine and go back and find every babe
ruth, micky mantle. frankenstein from 31 every beatle record and putina
hermetically sealed vault. tjhhen before you die////get sothebys
orchristie to auction and get a large loot..then what?? you may be old
unhealthy forget why you even collected and beestrqnge3d by friends and
familyas beinga loner anti social OCD person who is justwaitingto die
or has so much money theyare paranoid somone is out to steal it..which
these days is notat all fantasy but facet... I get calls from familys
left colectable estates that have no wher to go but dealers who dont
tellthe truthand take advantage of unknowing people..One woman was the
daughterofone ofthe other Hurricanes he did Rock records and had many
plus old concertopposters aand memroabilia fromthe 50s...her dad died
then her husband died sheis traumatized and now she has to wonderwho is
honest and giving her good advice..I rember Osborne record price guide

a few years ago when David Kusomotos home was on fire anda few other

geting it auctioned fora cause or in a museum is good but many of the
dead dealers stuff get held up in courts or put in trash bins...
Paul McCartney plans to auction a pair of beatle boots they could bvring
like 50 K..i wrote to him hey Paul..i had teh boots back in 1965 begged
my mom .the cuban heal would make my ankle turn overand i had to walk a
mile toschool..very uncomforable... whate w even Funnier is i had
myright foot amputated in 2021 and myleft is fusedand even ifit heals i
will be wearinga prosthetic now on Right..so i had to laugh even though
i love the beatles.. the high pricess at auction baffle my mindas I
cannot Imagine having expendable cash like that..My biggest yeari thinki
made 600K which was more money theni could handle.. but we started
selling all the movie studios stuff in like 88- 87 so we had great gross
sales but found ways to mismange andlose it all....be a pauper was the
mostspiritual thing i ever have done and i emrace it
I got so frugal i even refilled my water bottles justin case therwas a
water shortage... taumatic stuff builds the soul so you can withstand
muchofthe worlds stress.. basicall i pray for all people the richand the
poor as we all suffer//the wealthy guy can get terminal cancer
overnight...lookat the ecelebrities// most are in shock fromthe world
events bad choices in life marriages that are failed.. yet there are
many lighthouse of Good people that keep us on track...in the nature boy
song by Nat king cole.. the greatest lesson youll ever learn is just to
love and be loved in returns

For what it's worth... A friend once asked me to take his absolute gem
mint 1941 Joe DiMaggio Playball card to a card show and have Joe Di
sign it. At the show a well respected dealer told me it would be a
huge mistake to get that card signed. Would be better to get a lesser
grade card signed to give it better value. I called my friend and told
him what he said. I didn't get it signed. Obviously this was many
years ago.

I was wondering what you guys think about newer autographs on
vintage movie posters?
Personally, I like vintage autographs. I have a Subway Window Card
for THE WARRIORS that was signed by almost the entire cast back in
1979. Since the movie is a personal favorite, I really like that
one.
If I had the choice between an unsigned poster and one signed by the
cast in the last few years, I would definitely go for the unsigned
one.
Today, I circled around buying an expensive CLOCKWORK ORANGE poster,
which turned out be signed by Malcolm McDowell. When you take a look
on ebay, you find tons of MM signatures on stills, posters, lobby
cards, toy boxes, hats, masks, and what not. When I mentioned to the
seller that this guy apparently signs everything you hold in front
of him, he was totally offended and ended our conversation.
My point being: An original 1973 Bob Dylan autograph on a PAT
GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID Onesheet might raise the value of this
very affordable poster to a completely different level.
On the other hand, in my personal perception, a more or less recent
McDowell signature on a rare and expensive CLOCKWORK ORANGE poster
would much rather lower the value than enhance it. Again, this is
merely my personal opinion.
What do you think on this matter?
