Personally I don't like autographs on posters - I feel it's somehow
defacing the poster. In fact, I've never seen the point of autographs
unless one has got them personally. I have some signed CDs from bands I
like, inscribed to me, and these I enjoy. But, even if the autograph is
legit, having one obtained by someone else holds no appeal for me.
Case in point - a collector friend has a Performance quad, signed by Nic
Roeg for sale. Not an easy piece to find, and some might find the fact
that it is signed by the deceased director to enhance the value (it just
has the name, nothing else) and it is quite discreetly done. However, I
would much prefer it not to have the autograph!
I guess you can say I'm not a fan.

a favorite film of mine is SHADOW OF A DOUBT. i own the one sheet,
and purchased the insert from bruce 3 weeks ago. Yet, the full set on
lobby cards from this firm keeps appearing, and reappearing, and
reappearing for $2,000 with autographs. never sells.....
i always see a bogart signed one sheet of THE DESPERATE HOURS for
about 900.00. it is only a 100.00 poster!!!! it never sells.
i have a neighbor who used to collect sports autographs. he stopped.
too many fakes burnt him.
YOU THOUGHTS ON AUTOGRAPHS ?????
