Nice collection but I don't like the autographs on the cover of the steelbooks.

For me those autographs disfeature the artcovers of the steelbooks.

Nice collection. Man, I had forgotten how beautiful the FF14 steelbook looks. One of the better looking steelbooks out there imo. I like the autographs on steelbooks Makes the steelbook look unique.

Unique? You can't see the beautiful artwork of the steelbook because of those autographs, I would never buy a steelbook which is signed with an autograph, even if Hideo Kojima signed it.

In my opinion those developers aren't famous enough that their autographs are worth to be signed on the steelbook.

Well, I like the autographs too...

I guess we all have our preferences man. I have a few signed steelbooks in my collection, and I just like the fact that they stand out and there's a story behind them.

Also, from a rarity and value standpoint, I think a signed steelbook is worth more than an unsigned version of that same steelbook (especially if a big name developer or voice actor has signed it). I've seen plenty of signed steels on eBay sell for more money compared to their unsigned versions. So, there's definitely a preference and market out there for signed steels from collectors.

At the end of the day, getting signed/unsigned steels is just a matter of the collector's preference. Just like how some collectors only collect sealed steels.

Would you also pay more for a signed car?

Depends if the car is a display item or not. If I'm getting it to drive, then no. But if it's an antique car to showcase, having it signed by the manufacturer would be beneficial. I don't know how things are in Europe, but here in North America, autographs are a big business. Books, games, music CDs, sports equipment and cards, all of these items gain value if they're signed.

I like having my games signed. I enjoy meeting the actors or developers of a title and having a small chat with them. It's not about about monetary value or buying someone elses copy of a game that has been signed. Like another user said, I like the little story behind meeting them, shaking their hand and having them sign my game.

Also, it really doesn't matter if they're famous. It's more to do with "You worked for years on this! I love this game, would you sign?" etc
