I feel like it would only increase the price. Placement of the signature is important to consider.
I got couple Stouts signed by Stan Lee couple years ago that I cherish that will never be for sale unless sh*t hits the fan. If it makes you happy, get it ! If you decide to sell theres a decent market for autograph movie prints on FB groups.

I have a couple prints that are signed by actors, but I went with prints that are pretty easy to get and don't already hold much value, i.e. Peak's NOES3 (signed by Englund & Langenkamp). I think generally it decreases value unless you find someone who is into collecting prints AND autographs as well. Personally I've swapped to collecting original one-sheets and getting those signed by actors.
I get everything signed. And to me for example, getting an artist proof signed and having that limited number print is huge.Cigarizard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 12:32 pmI have a couple prints that are signed by actors, but I went with prints that are pretty easy to get and don't already hold much value, i.e. Peak's NOES3 (signed by Englund & Langenkamp).

My 2¢
Be careful where they sign, and what they use to sign the print. I recommend getting those 'Sign Here' Post It Notes and always provide your own pencil for them to sign with. Many pens/markers will ruin the print over time.

Better yet, put the print in one of those archival sleeves with only a small section cut out where you want the sig. I always think back to that Stout The Thing that was ruined by John Carpenter signing right on the face.
