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.

do autographs on posters make them more valuable?   i believe that that autographs have the opposite effect.

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 ?????
