Re: [MOPO] Does This Poster Restoration Work Impact Value?
Great thread. I had the great pleasure of busting a fake seller of autographs on eBay. He was selling autographed photos of bands for fairly steep prices. There was a photo of the entire Steve Miller Band circa 1978. There was a picture of myself with the rest of the guys and across my image was a signature that absolutely wasn't mine. It was a total Woody Allen/"Annie Hall" moment; "The signature is fake. How do I know this? That's me in the photo, Mr. Certificate of Authenticity. I sign my name with a flourish and a large "D" on my last name. That signature looks like the writer hasn't had a decent bowel movement in two weeks." It was a wonderful neener-neener moment. They're so rare in life. I'm getting a warm flush of self-righteousness just writing about it. Greg Douglass Neenerville, CA PS: Tom's posts are so great; the guy wrotes straight from the heart. I met Tom in person and he's just what you would expect, an open and friendly guy who greets you like he's known you for decades. And the lack of punctuation in his messages isn't his fault; he developed a severe allergy to periods, commas and exclamation points when he was a child. Much love to you, Tom!

Re: [MOPO] Does This Poster Restoration Work Impact Value?
David, I totally agree. It's part of the story and the story adds historical value at least. Of course it depends on the story how much. A signing session with sharpie for which the owner of the signature stood in line to pay the 25 bucks is less of a story than the one of a fan who left his/her/they spouse, or took six months leave to meet the hero in person. I have several items which are signed for an old friend of mine from which I bought a lot of items. To quote the description on my site www.movie-ink.com: I have an original poster for ERASERHEAD signed by director DAVID LYNCH and lead actor JACK NANCE. The inscription at the top with Jack Nance's signature reads "To Thijs from Henry Spencer. Love To All Rotterdam", Lynch added to his signature in the collar "1978". Here's the story: Thijs Ockersen was a Dutch journalist and film event organizer. In 1978 he was in California. One of his tasks there was to acquire movies for screening at the International Rotterdam Film Festival. ERASERHEAD was shown at a few late evening dates for promotion of the film. Ockersen attended a screening and got into contact with both Nance (who played HENRY SPENCER of course) and Lynch. He got a poster that both signed with the expectation that the movie would screen at the IFFR as Ockersen would pitch the movie. This is the meaning of the inscription Love To All Rotterdam". In the end it did not show as the festival's director HUUB BALS saw no appeal in ERASERHEAD and ultimately did not buy it.

Re: [MOPO] Does This Poster Restoration Work Impact Value?
I’ve run across the situation with fine art that salutations with someone’s name quoted - like “Harold” decrease value of the piece - The sense is only people named Harold would want to own it.
