To each their own, but I've never intentionally had anything autographed for the purpose of selling the item at a profit....or with the thought that I can re-sell it later for whatever reason. Some of my autographs are personalized, some aren't; I'm happy to have met the artist and to have a special mememto of that meeting.

I agree. I'm not sure I could ask someone NOT to personalize an autograph. What would he/she think?

I don't get things signed intentionally for profit either. However, since none of us are going to live forever, someone may want to "sell" things at a later date. I mainly collect signed first editions of books. Everyone I know says they're worth more if not dedicated to anyone. I do often get them dated & include the city they were signed in. No author has ever been offended by this.
I'm not really sure if that's also true for LPs & CDs.
