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.

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 On 2024-05-15 16:16, Paul W.

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

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?
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?

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