I assume Garfield's signature on Duals doesn't really mean anything right?

makes them harder to move, same value but fewer buyers.

There may be a premium paid by those in Europe, they love stuff signed by him.

Because they are duals I don't see the sig having any negative impact. Garfields sig is sloppy but any higher end eternal staple I have moved over the years ( moxen lotus ) with his sig had no bearing on the price in a negative way.

I got his signature on a couple of cards at Worlds 2004 (Force of Will and FBB Demonic Tutor). His signature is "sloppy". I concur with that. He did do a small alter (not artistic mind you - No! on Force of Will), which initially I didn't like, but now have grown to love and I have them in my cube. Sometimes it is intrinsic value...it's about the appreciation of the person who originated the game for people (like myself) who didn't want to spend hours and hours playing D&D, but enjoying a strategy game that was also a collectible. Similar to the appreciation of the art work that are on the cards. Good luck...Greg

Here is my take on it. The unlimited one has his more recent (10 yrs +) signature. Its pretty sloppy and quite condensed. The beta one while probly not the best example I could find is his older signature. I find the older one more collectible (for obvious reasons) but also a much nicer signature. If he uses pen over marker on the older ones they are quite crisp. [url=http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5549/12371572624_5586ecb752_o.png][/url]
