Re: [MOPO] David Prowse signature on a Star Wars Birthday Cake poster

2012-06-23 Thread Jeffrey Meyer

Thanks again for all the input.  After further thought I feel that as a SW fan 
and poster collector that I would rather have Prowse sign one of my Vader 
Carded Figures and keep the Birthday Cake poster unsigned.  Since I can't get 
all the cast to sign each of their images on the poster I think it would look 
weird to have just his on it.  Plus, I would rather not take the chance of 
something happening to the poster where I would regret ever taking it with me.  
A still, DVD box set, Star Wars Novel and carded figure would make more sense 
to get signed as a SW fan.
 
Thanks again for all your help.

Do not get it signed.
 
fwiw, we probably sell more vintage Star Wars posters than anyone in the galaxy.
 
Most people who are in the market for a birthday one sheet will not want it 
signed by anyone,
 
and, Prowse has signed his name to a billion other things, so his signature is 
not hard to come by.
 
 
signed by Lucas? now that is another story.

A little known fact is that Harrison Ford hated signing autographs. Fox had 
someone on staff who signed for him, and most of Harrison's autographed items 
were done by this Fox employee. To this day, many "experts" believe the 
employee autograph is Harrison's real signature.



Fakes are rampant in the SW world. On Prowse's web site, he shows a lot fake 
Prowse autographs. He is very angry about fake autographs and doesn't even show 
his signature on his site for fear of providing conmen with a template.



Whether autographs would increase the value of a poster like Happy Birthday, 
the question is how much more the fans would pay for an already expensive 
poster.  I'm saying fans because its not the MOPO collectors who pay top dollar 
for SW. It's the SW fans.



On the down side, having only Prowse's signature becomes a highlight for the 
missing others. 



If you had a vintage signed poster with photographs of you & the various cast 
member, it would certainly be something you, as a fan, could be proud of. 



When you went to sell it, fans -- like you -- are now at an age where they have 
$$ to collect the more expensive items. How much more would one autograph be 
worth?


How much more would you pay for a poster autographed to someone else?

Have to agree,
Average Joe's don't know who he is (for shame) and also he likes to SIGN, so 
its not rare to have his autograph (I had 5 or more quads signed by him a few 
years back - and could have had more).
So as you say "an investment decision" do as mentioned, take a still and have

Re: [MOPO] David Prowse signature on a Star Wars Birthday Cake poster

2012-06-23 Thread Phillip W. Ayling
I suspect that in many cases it depends on whether the poster or the 
autograph is the rarer item. A Gilda one-sheet goes for much more money that 
a Rita Hayworth autograph. I imagine that having Rita's autograph on the 
poster in a non-obtrusive place would not detract from the look or value of 
the poster, but I don't think it would necessarily increase the value of it 
either. Given how rare/ valuable that poster is, I imagine that on a given 
day if an autographed copy came to auction it could fetch more... or less 
than whatever the prior sale had been, but most likely the purchaser would 
be a poster collector, rather than an autograph collector.


If it were a copy of Some Like It Hot, autographed by Billy Wilder, Jack 
Lemmon or Tony Curtis, the same might be true. If it were autographed by 
Marilyn Monroe, I suspect it would increase the value tremendously. But in 
the latter case the value of that poster to poster collectors, would be 
trumped by its value to Marilyn Monroe collectors.


In the same way a copy of Help signed by each of the Beatles might well 
garner more money than an unsigned copy... but not from the typical poster 
collector.


David Prowse is just not in that league.

The first Toy Story film was made more than 15 years ago and I played on the 
Soundtrack. At one of the scoring sessions, I brought an advance one-sheet 
as I often do for projects that I'm working on. I left it in the booth for 
Randy Newman to sign. John Lassiter and Steve Jobs were there that day too 
and seeing Randy sign it, they joined in. They were the Director and 
Producer after all.  I really had no idea who they were. I now have plenty 
of things that Randy and John have signed, but nothing else signed by Steve 
Jobs. It was the only film he took a producing credit for during his time 
running Pixar.


While a Toy Story advance has some value, I think this one might be worth 
more because of the Job's autograph.

I agree about the David Prowse autograph on this poster.  I don't think it 
adds anything and it could possibly subtract.  I often specialize in 
posters and lobbies with autographs and often find they really do add value 
if it's the right autograph and definitely genuine (i.e. I had a one-sheet 
for Two Women with Sophia Loren's autograph).  In the case of Prowse, he's 
been autographing tons of posters, etc since the late 70s and it's pretty 
common.  I'd think the only important autograph on a Star Wars posters 
would be Lucas, Harrison Ford, and perhaps John Williams and all taken in 
person only.

Re: [MOPO] David Prowse signature on a Star Wars Birthday Cake poster

2012-06-23 Thread Daniel Kinske
Also there is an inherent lack of provenance in a poster--even if you take a 
photo. I like The Marx Brothers and Houdini enough to get their autographs, but 
if I am going to pay that much I'll get it on a contract or letterhead as legal 
documents can't be beat. Posters just seem lessened in value and I always 
wonder if the signatures are  authentic. Like the Duck Soup posters supposedly 
signed by Groucho--how would you prove he signed that if it was being sold 
today?

Re: [MOPO] David Prowse signature on a Star Wars Birthday Cake poster

2012-06-23 Thread Ari Richards
Have to agree,
Average Joe's don't know who he is (for shame) and also he likes to SIGN, so 
its not rare to have his autograph (I had 5 or more quads signed by him a few 
years back - and could have had more).
So as you say "an investment decision" do as mentioned, take a still and have 
that signed.
But if you love the poster, love him, want to keep it, who cares right?

IMO, dont go with the sig on the poster. I would get a still and have him sign 
that. His "john hancock" will most likely devalue the poster... unless that 
isnt something you are concerned with or worried about in the future.

Sad but true, as an investment, a Prowse signature would probably devalue the 
poster.

The issue of signed posters came up a while back.
Think general consensus was that they're not particularly favoured.
I tend to think they look out of place on posters.I've got a few signed that 
mean something to me, though perhaps not to others if it came to selling them.
I also recall David mentioning a Psycho poster signed by Janet Leigh to him.
I don't know how Star Wars collectors would feel about that poster signed by 
Prowse, but don't imagine his sig is rare, does a lot of fairs I'd have thought.
Guinness for instance may be a different matter, though obviously that's not an 
option.

I would have him sign a still instead of the poster.
