    Would an autographed carded Isis decrese or increase the value?

    I was thinking she does toy shows from time to time, would it be worth having her autograph the card?

    I don't think that it would. I think it would actually lessen the value. I'm kinda curious what others think about this?

    I would say it wouldn't increase the value one single bit.
    As a matter of fact, a lot of people will tell you it would lower the value.

    Do what makes you feel good, but if it was me, i'd have her sign something else.
    Maybe a sweet 8x10 glossy of her in THAT skirt

    In general, it tends to lessen the value. A Mego collector or toy collector is not necessarily a Joanna Cameron/Isis fan. However, many of us are nostalgia driven and you may find a person or two who would want it more. I wouldn't mind and Adam West signed Batman.

    The again, if I did get one, I'd buy a second, clean carded Bats

    I got my Ponch signed last year ,I'd say get it signed.There's millions of pics of hers signed out there,but how many megos? Maybe it'll decrease the value just a bit,but who cares,it'll be a super cool piece

    It seems to me most pieces that are signed (anything) decrease the item's value with these few exceptions ....

    1. If the autograph itself is rare --- aka, all four Beatles signing a Beatles album
    2. If the person actually created the item --- A custom, a painting or statue
    3. Sports cards --- Sports cards are the exception to the rule

    not really on sports cards unless it's a vintage one from the 30's-50's or if it's a signed card pulled from a pack that's already been authenticated

    if you just meet a player and he signs a regular base set card,it's not worth anything except to you of course

    I learned that with a Jose Canseco card in the early 90's

    If it's for your own personal collection and you plan on keeping it get it signed. As far as value is concerned don't get it signed. For a Mego or toy collector it would lessen the value (as mentioned by others)but for a person who is a Mego and Cameron fan then it might increase the value. Although I'd guess she doesn't have a big fan following since she's basically known only for the Isis role. Me? I'd get a repro card or box and have it signed.
