Multi-signed pieces · what to know
Cast-signed posters? Name every signature you want weighed.
First signature is the tier price; each additional signature on the same piece is +$3. One submission, one opinion number, one record: every name listed gets its own opinion on file.
Multi-signed pieces often carry a mix of authentic and inauthentic signatures, so naming each one lets the authenticator be precise.
