Autographed posters are a very touchy subject. An autograph will reduce the value of a poster for any prospective buyer who does not collect autographs. This will become an even greater problem, when the autograph is personalized, like "to so and so" best wishes etc.. If you are not an

As far as autographs go, I think it depends on the value of the autograph verses the item signed. If the autograph alone is worth more than the item signed then the item is normally worth the autograph plus the item's value. If the item is signed is very valuable and the autograph isn't worth that
