I disagree that all 8x10's (or all posters, or any other form of signed item) is equivalent in value. There's numerous factors that influence value- provenance/origin, rarity of item, boldness of signature, inscriptions/completeness of name, condition of item/signature, etc. If you have one you're selling- then post of PM a picture of the actual item and I'll give you my offer. Otherwise, I'm not going to make an offer on an item sight unseen.
I never said "every item is equivalent in value.'' I even specified on an 8x10 photo...But beig that you didn't provide details. That is why NO ONE has commented so far except me LOL! And I just asked you about a "signed 8x10" but ok. Good luck on that.

I am saying that I don't consider all signed 8x10's to be equal to all other signed 8x10's of the same artist. For example an 8x10 John Doe that is dark, and also signed with a dark marker is worth probably worth less to me compared to a more contrasting signature. Therefor, I don't give set prices for generalized items (CD's = $XX, 8x10's = $XX, Posters, etc.). I give prices based on my perceived FMV, and the degree of desirability for my collection.
Obviously, I am failing to communicate my thoughts clearly enough. I have things I need to take care of before Christmas tomorrow, so we'll just move on. Thanks for your interest, and I hope you and yours have a Happy Holiday, and a great 2013.
