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 dieget 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 
and Gold mine mad i used dto advertis in itwhen Brian Bukantis owned 
it..inthe80s// now itsa free forall with the sharks in Full and few

think it will all work out,,as thepiolots says at 35 thousand feet

mile turbulance ahead...
Ifthe man with the card was trulya childhood fan gettinga signed 
Dimafggio card could behis childhood dream worth more then the value to 
him..myex wifeonce said while i was clening my decesed moms stuff 
ifthatwas marilyn monore shoes you would be treatingit much deeper 
respect
a few years ago when David Kusomotos home was on fire anda few other 
California friernfd i was impressed as they grabbed the kids drawings 
and personl things rather then artworks of value...  we learn wher are 
heartand soul is in traumatic times whenwe lose allthe material 
stuff..itsa great sould buildert..and recentlywhen my son had my adam 
west letter he eitherlostor took i asked God// what do i do?? he said 
what more important your memorabilia or your sons soul??? consider the 
same for all collections and items as i will wagere money you wont be 
takinga U-haul behind the hease


I am on a mission to get rid of most my material stuff it feels great to 
give it to anotherif it helps othersi started with Food.. and small 
stuffas like most i was addicted to my things likea child with a teddy

why?
the memries are your treasure in heaven not phyical stuff justask KING

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

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 allbe a pauper was the

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.

signature on an orig Casablanca poster?..I don’t think he signed
much so I think that would be cool..however as to the value of the
poster hard to say if it would increase decrease or do nothing..but
if it’s a personalized sig ..to Alan best of luck HB still cool
but no q decreases value of poster

Re: [MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

[Tom Martin]

Helmut and Paul
well I think it adds a certain depth and story to theposters..

My son and ii attended the 1st star wars celebration in Denver co in 
1999.. the IRa was havinga meeting in Denver with  Charlton Heston... 
itwas a greta fatherand son memory...Tommy myson had senta portfolio 
ofhis pics as theywere looking fora kid to play Anikin skywalker,,, and 
so Lucasfilm had Tommys pics and a video demo as Anikin


I tokd some clapboards as gifts to Drew Struzanand we met Rick McCallum 
who was a producer of episode one star wars..I also brought like 5 
episode 1 one sheets with me..


 so Tommy got to meet Rickand he even called our home while we were 
still flying home as he was touched to meet my son..and he sent hima 
letter telling hime to never give up on his dreams


we also met Jake Llyod who played Anikin and would not sign mysons toy 
figures...and we saw Jarjar binks play  music and met anthony daniesl; 
c3 po..


so it was funas i was looking at the artworkd i mentioned wow Drew 
Struzan my fave poster artist and hear a giggle..It was Drew behind me.. 
i said wow its you !!!



so he talked to Tommy and said keep practicingand he signed theposters 
in silver paint pen.. it was so cool  I still have them
also itook Tommy to Detroit to meeet peter Mayhew and David Prowse ata 
comic con/// theysigned his 14 x36 insert fromtheoriginal 77 star wars
 My friend Peter Mosen was in GB part two and had a Ghostbusters 2 
signed by everyone in cast except Sigorney I gave it to Tommy

that group will never be together agiain..as Harold has passsed.
with all signings if its toa person taht can detract if its just the sig 
ita proof ofa time and place the artist have touched or been therein 
Time and for me it cements a memory..
inthe final point its the memory thats forever with my son   we werable 
to meet many music people likebootsie collins.. les Claypool. Pete Best 
, vvictor wooten, and more and the memory was the most priceless item 
fora fatherand son
he met Jerry lewis and jeff Daniels senthima signed pic as wellas 
Jerry,,Think Jerry was themost historic,,,I said one day youwill see you 
meta guy very close to Charlie Chaplin...he also met Roddy MCDowell whic 
was pure cinema historyand he even signed Tommys planet ofthe apes 
dall..
so the sgs alone can be argued about values but the personal memorys are 
foreverand priceless.

hope that helps

Tom
Hollywood dream factory®
since 1977
ps Adam westandhis wife sent Tommy Baptism pajamas when he was born  in 
1986 how cool is that Batmen sent him Pajamas...He also ahas the letters 
adam sent me during the 80s about getting inthe 89 Batman movie... so 
its memories that matter most to me
same with MOPo friends and those i have met or talked to at shows or on 
phone its priceless to me


God bless

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.

I see them as 2 different hobbies, I don't want anything signed on a poster
I have for the poster collection.  If I am chasing a sig, I would rather
really have it on a trading card of some sort, but there are definitely a
seemingly larger crowd that like their posters signed these days. I would go
the reprint route if having a poster signed, OR window cards and locandinas
have nice white space available that are ideal for autos that would be lower
cost originals.

[MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

[Helmut Hamm]

Alan,

 

a 1940s Bogart autograph on a CASABLANCA poster would certainly be cool, but if Bogart had survived and written that autograph 50 or 60 years later? Not so cool in my book.

Re: [MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

[Thomas Rogers]

Paul and Alan both make excellent points. I have wondered about this, as well, as I have two posters that are signed. One is a lobby signed by Groucho Marx, which I believe is an exception. The other is a one-sheet for Midnight Run that Alan Parker signed for me back in the early 1980s. His signature is discreet and not visually obtrusive in any way. It’s a flat signature so no personalization worries. Does it increase the value? My sense is that it does not but I don’t really know. I think the realm of truly price-altering signatures is probably very small.On May 15, 2024, at 4:12 PM, Alan Heimann  wrote:Hi group I know we’ve knocked this around in the past..I think it depends on whose autographing ..my example  you want a bogart signature on an orig Casablanca poster?..I don’t think he signed much so I think that would be cool..however as to the value of the poster hard to say if it would increase decrease or do nothing..but if it’s a personalized sig ..to Alan best of luck HB still cool but no q decreases value of poster On Wed, May 15, 2024 at 3:59 PM Helmut Hamm <02a292c4d413-dmarc-requ...@listserv.american.edu> wrote:I was wondering what you guys think about newer autographs on vintage movie posters?

[MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

I was wondering what you guys think about newer autographs on vintage movie posters?
