Yes and no

At least with treehouse they usually try to garner more money by releasing more products

They don't charge for signatures

When they re-release a limited edition art work they change it's size usually

I much prefer the way Treehouse is run then irrational

Honestly it makes me like Ken less

You need to consider the mark up percentage in my opinion. But really this is not a gaming memorabilia debate, it is a capitalism debate.



And it is not Ken really it is the people he works for.

Not sure Capitalism would be the right word for it

To be honest I think Ken likely has far more to say about it then you would think

I doubt there's a clause in his contract with irrational that dictates he signs everything and anything put in front of him

I think he willingly does it personally

Guy just seems to like signing stuff

I suppose the pricing might not be handled by him but it still greatly dilutes the appeal of his signature to me

This was totally expected. I've been complaining about this since their trio of lithos.

People keep buying, they keep increasing the price of his signature. Its that simple really, so if you are someone who has bought every single signed thing they have put out, I'm not sure why you're complaining.
